Are you sure that it would be?
Do you have reason to believe that it wouldn't?
We can't take the right chemicals, even though we know the exact proportions, and make a single celled organism that is alive.
But is the problem that it requires more than assembling the chemicals in the right order, or that with current technology we can't assemble the chemicals in the right order, even if we know what the right chemicals are and their proportions?

It would make a good science experiment - take a dead cell, replace the damaged material, and see if it came back to life. I'm not sure that it would. Even if it did, there's a long step between that and consciousness.
