Is the T-Virus possible?

[Skulsta]

Is it actually possible to make a virus that will cause humans to become incredibly dumb and uncivilised, and do nothing but find their most required need. Food, and do anythitng to get it?

Yes this is related to Resident Evil

I personally believe it may be, They won't become literal zombies but simply very dumb and kill people to feed on. Not actually "undead".

[Rosenrot-I]

No, zombies don't exist and will never exist. Period.

I'm not talking about zombies. Simply a virus that makes you become a stupid canabalistic lunatic.

[drugs-onFIRE]

i'd say, kind of, and it already exists.....

its called fast food and high fructose corn syrup.

Also no. And in any case it wouldn't be that dangerous, if the person is stupid and knows nothing but eating it won't get em far, you could just punch em out.

Dude, I respect your love for Rammstein and Subway, but as a mad scientist, I can't stand around here while you tell me that my preparations for a zombie army are all for naught!

There is no way virus can change a person's mentality. They just attack cells and spread.

They would have lunged at you and bitten or scratched you by the time you got close enough.

Also their pain indicators would be disabled so it wouldn't slow them down.

Oh for fuck's sake dude! I was trying to keep everyone cool and convince them it's impossible so you'd have a surprise factor, way to go :(

Because obviously viruses don't attack brain cells. Of course they can.

[LeeJaySan]

T-virus, G-virus, whatever! Though it is possible to make someone genetically enhanced, it would be unlikely that a virus could make you lose sanity, unless you're mental.

Attack, not change. Difference is obvious.

Well I believe it would be more of a parasite that eats your brain. So the only parts left are the movement, breathing, eating and stuff like that.

Surprise? I want fear flowwing through the streets before the blood flows! >:D

Plus, as a fellow member of the guild, you know that the first rule is that we can't be successful, because then we are not mad scientists, but world leaders.

[HorseSperm]

Only in Russia.

While I am more than happy for ZAAL and his little mad-scientist/zombie army recruiting friend, I'd have to say no, it's impossible for the "T-Virus", or anything similar, to exist. And even if it did, no superhuman powers = easy kill. You wouldn't have to lop off the head, due to the fact that the person infected would still be alive.

I say bring the virus on. Gives me a valid reason to kill. Telling people I'm just "insane" isn't working anymore.

Democracy?

Television has been doing a fair job of that for years. Who needs viralized mutagenic weaponry?

I'll take one, if you're offering.

[Carmilla]

I wouldn't put it past any government in the world to come up with something like the T-virus. Even if it's not identical I'm sure there's someone out there who, with enough time and money, could come up with something like it.

[Asalraalaikum]

Why the fuck T?

[Lost-Chances]

Theoretically, yes.

Let's say you were to create a virus that was to attack certain parts of the brain that control anger or maybe boost testosterone in the body. It would cause an increase in aggression in males which may lead to mindless violence. Granted, the zombies in myth of killing to feed on human flesh is false but zombies in terms of groups of people having uncontrollable violence I'd say is very possible and very real. You could consider rabies as a mild version of the "T-Virus" but if there was a virus that only messed around with the emotional responses and boost testosterone to increase aggression, I'd say we'd be about 90% way there.

[Glowstick-warroir]

I'd also buy the idea that a parricide can borrow into a dead persons skull, use the higher parts of the brain to eat, and then tap into the brain stem to control them, then set forth on there human eating deeds.

It also might be more reasonable to be in some one that's already alive.

It's true. Caps lock helped us give Commies a black eye.

I think zombies are possible, just not the kind you're thinking of.

Leaving them blind for a short amount of time; enough time to win the war on Communism.
