Since these people are already brain dead--meaning their brain is kaput and their soul has left the premises--I wonder what these researchers hope to gain from this?

At best, they could induce a new brain to grow in that body. That would make a new person. Depending on the source of the stem cells, that new person would be dramatically different. Plus, uneducated. There is a strong moral component to placing a new person in an old body--I'd call it extremely unethical. Then there is the practical component that this person would need to be educated--who wants to deal with an infant in an adult body, with all of the emotional outbursts and so forth?

Maybe for purposes of repairing badly damaged brains where the original person is still present--like Terri Schindler--this technique would have applications. We would still have to reeducate the person, and they would not be the same as prior to the injury. But replacing dead brains? I don't think we want to go there.

Such vain hopes! I trust that God will have the final say in such matters.

“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.

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.

Have they read The Monkey's Paw? They might find it instructive.
