I'd buy a beer first, then kill'em all. Baby or not, zombie is zombie.

[Karlmarks]

With recognition that this is a wild, and unlikely, scenario, adios babies.

[Enrivaanonock]

The answer is obvious, the fetus would be a zombie. Didn't you see Dawn of the Dead? The fetus is connected to the mother through the umbilical cord and thus is also infected.

Since the zombie fetus does not have the blessing of Jesus Christ, it can be killed.

Head to the Winchester.

I'd save the shotgun bullets for the adult zombies and bash the babies heads in with a fire hydrant

[neniajany]

No these are fast zombies and they are not dead since they have been infected by a virus created in a top secret government bio-lab. Get with the program Zkribbler. I'm tired of your lies and deceit.

You can't kill a corpse. So even a pro-lifer would be okay with blasting a zombie.

& you DO run for it, the zombies aren't slow anymore. FIXED!

Zkrib, rent '28 Days'

[DoctoNilsonDen]

Zkrib, Boris is right. Dawn of the Dead and the excellent spoof, Shawn of the Dead.

[petrarkaponye]

Genre dude.

Obviously it's a good idea to save ammunition for more threatening zombies. A baby's tiny hands are not suited for clawing so they aren't too dangerous. You don't even need a fire extinguisher, just stomp on them with your biker boots.

If they're not dead, are they technically zombies? My understanding is that zombies have to be animated corpses. So the victims of 28 Days Later are not really zombies.

Your terminology was bad, not Zkribbler's answer. The virus itself is undead so the infected human is a zombie by association.

I only watch monster movies if there's a bed nearby, so I can crawl under it and take shelter behind the dust bunnies.

So when I get a cold, I'm a Picornaviridae by association?

I don't think the transitive property works like that...

[retTreftowhexm]

Given that even healthy babies are not well coordinated or intelligent, how are zombified ones supposed to be blocking my way? What exactly is keeping me from brushing them aside, or for the bigger ones kicking them out of the way? Assuming I'm wearing jeans and the zombification process hasn't given them razor fangs, I should be able to pry off any that latch on long before they reach my skin, just using the butt end of the shotgun.

I don't think the transitive property works like that... Okay back to your original point of zombies having to be undead creatures. That simply is not true, much like evolution or global warming.

Take Half-Life for example, you would find tons of scientists who were turned into zombies by parasitic headcrabs. A zombie is something that has been subverted and controled by some greater power be it parasites, a virus, radiation from space, or magic. Zombies don't have to be undead.

The virus has given the babies the innate ability to jump several feet and razor sharp teeth. If you don't fight them, they could jump to your neck and bite into your jugular. You would die by bleeding to death and would be forever remembered as "that guy who was killed by a baby." Haven't you seen the movies? The sympathetic ones who play down the danger of zombies always die first.

The lab that created the virus is evil though since it was built on top of an Indian burial ground.

A zombie is something that has been subverted and controled by some greater power be it parasites, a virus, radiation from space, or magic. Zombies don't have to be undead. You are, quite simply, a heretic. Your definition of zombie is false.

A zombie is a reanimated human corpse. Stories of zombies originated in the Afro-Caribbean spiritual belief system of Vodou, which told of the people being controlled as workers by a powerful sorcerer. Zombies became a popular device in modern horror fiction, largely because of the success of George A. Romero's 1968 film Night of the Living Dead.

There are several possible etymologies of the word zombie. One possible origin is jumbie, the West Indian term for "ghost".[1] Another is nzambi, the Kongo word meaning "spirit of a dead person."[1] According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the etymology is from the Louisiana Creole or Haitian Creole zonbi, of Bantu origin.[2] A zonbi is a person who is believed to have died and been brought back to life without speech or free will.[3] It is akin to the Kimbundu nzúmbe ghost. These words are approximately from 1871.[2] Wikipedia is flawless, so thus you are refuted.

If it ain't dead, it ain't a zombie.
