A groundbreaking trial to see if it is possible to regenerate the brains of dead people, has won approval from health watchdogs.
A biotech company in the US has been granted ethical permission to recruit 20 patients who have been declared clinically dead from a traumatic brain injury, to test whether parts of their central nervous system can be brought back to life.
Scientists will use a combination of therapies, which include injecting the brain with stem cells and a cocktail of peptides, as well as deploying lasers and nerve stimulation techniques which have been shown to bring patients out of comas.
The trial participants will have been certified dead and only kept alive through life support. They will be monitored for several months using brain imaging equipment to look for signs of regeneration, particularly in the upper spinal cord - the lowest region of the brain stem which controls independent breathing and heartbeat.
The team believes that the brain stem cells may be able to erase their history and re-start life again, based on their surrounding tissue – a process seen in the animal kingdom in creatures like salamanders who can regrow entire limbs....

And there’s really most sincerely dead.
You bet! I was born and raised in Hudson County New Jersey and every November loads of dead people came back to life. Truly amazing I’ll tell you.
Forgot the ping.
That picture was taken when Kerry’s brain was 12 years younger.
It was no coincidence that the first Tuesday in November was chosen...following on the heels of Halloween, the undead voter registration period.
That’s right. The dead would vote the half-dead into office because all the Hudson County Dems would do was basically nothing except steal everything in sight. Then every election cycle they’d suddenly spring back to life to tell just how great they were.
If you only knew...
;)
You people and your common sense!
As an aside, excellent use of the word “unctuous”.
Better zombies through science
Such vain hopes! I trust that God will have the final say in such matters.
Well, you could start with the Democrat voter registration lists.
“Let the dead stay dead”
I agree, Ted is dead.
Now you are into zombie posts?
Oh, cut him (you) some slack. No way, you were a SPAMMER for Cruz, not just a supporter. You have lost all respect and I frankly don’t care what you have to say, even about Zombies.
“lol - I had already guessed you’d be here, lol.”
I’m a sucker for a great opening.
Silly and stupid as Tower of Babel.
Well sometimes, dead is better. The person you put up there ain’t the person that comes back. The ground is sour, Louis....It might look like that person, but it ain’t that person, because whatever lives on the ground beyond the Pet Sematary ain’t human at all. Sometimes, dead is better.
It won’t work.
No amount of Air Freshener will make this place habitable.
I’ll get the Jetwash. :)
If I am correct, they are restarted with a blank slate. This is only a preliminary study. Probably won’t occur until after the start of the thousand year kingdom. :)

Brain plasticity is phenomenal and if total regeneration occurs it would be like being your own clone.
Interesting point is judgment. In the OT if someone changes their life from bad to good only the good counts. If someone changes their life from good to bad, only the bad counts.
