Stem Cells To Reactivate The Brains Of The Dead

Let's try keep religion out of this, this is a science thread.

I'm not sure you can. If you are technically dead, and medical science advances to the point they can bring you back (not saying they can/are/will) it opens up a real nasty can of worms.

They haven't even started trials yet. Let's cross that bridge when we get to it

Get your sawn off shotguns and chainsaws while you still can guys

Sadly zombie apocalypse isn't reasonable justification for firearms covered by section 5 (although many prefer .22LR for that purpose due to noise levels).

Wow - they're generously bringing this cutting edge human experimentation to India. Maximum altruism...

Imagine if this was a success and they do reanimate a person's brain, i wonder what the patient's memory would be like, so many possibilities, from stuck in their last dying memory, to a blank or formatted memory, maybe wake up with memories starting as a 4 year old or even an account of what came after they died, any memory of that or that it could be totally blank\nothing.

Endless scenarios

Get ready to welcome the new Frankenstein race.

A race of Doctors?

Doesn't sound too bad.

the zombie apocalypse has begun

I'm still waiting for the Dolly the Sheep apocalypse.

Do you actually know what happens when you die?

It is not instant, death is peaceful. Good research.

Death is peaceful?

Perhaps to some.

 

[glenimp617]

Nobody knows what happens after we die, which is why we need research such as this

I'm thinking about the new robocop movie. Re-animated brain in a robotic body

You are mistaking dying with death.....I think, unless you have been to the underworld

Probably not as far-fetched as it sounds seeing as in most deaths the brain only dies because the body has. No need to worry about Skynet when we'll be the robots

I see them as interchangeable, given a situation.

Does it? I don't think it poses any terminal (fnah) threat to religious belief.

 

[Washout]

I'd be very surprised if memories were still intact unless the brain was brought back soon after? Could be unbelievably valuable research though for helping brain injuries and conditions like Alzheimers.

 

[Caged]

Will this give us the glorious preserved heads of famous figures future that Futurama promised?

 

[glenimp617]

if the person comes back and says he's been to heaven where you get to spend eternity in the playboy mansion driving ferraris it might.....suicide rate would go up

 

[dowie]

What is wrong with religion?

well that it is likely wrong for a start
