Sunlight
Jun 1 2008, 7:29 PM EDT As much as I disagree with the assertion that zombies are dead, I will concede that point for the sake of the following theory: When you go out into sunlight, the UV rays will cause a sunburn with enough exposure. When human skin is burned, the immune system goes about dealing with the dead, burned cells, and new un-burned cells begin to grow. Now, since zombies were human, it is reasonable to asume that their cells will recieve similar effects from UV exposure. Also, sinc they are "dead" then the immune system will not go about dealing with the burn, and no new cells will be produced. This esentially means that the burn just gets worse and worse until the burned skin just falls off, and the process continues on the inner tisues. There is also the possibility of infection causeing more damage to the zombies body. Now, this raises 2 interesting questions: 1. Does the exposure to sunlight result in accelerated cell death and destruction of the zombie's body? 2. Will the possibility of such a situation result in zombies becoming solely nocturnal? I certainly hope to God that both of those statements are true...if so, then we would be reasonably safe during the daytime. Do you find this valuable? |
