Meh. Edwin Jenner observed the same thing with humans years ago. Here’s his analysis of TS-19.

Sorry, but death is by definition final. The headline attempts to make us think that a dead pig can be brought back to life. A lie.

The article says the truth: “Clinically defined, this is not a living brain, but it is a cellularly active brain”. Of course some cells will regain their function, but this is for a short time, and the organism is no longer a unified whole, and is dead, and the cells will die very soon too.

Death is that from which you do not return. If you “return from the dead” you were not dead.

Logic is apparently difficult to accept for some people.

...“Clinically defined, this is not a living brain, but it is a cellularly active brain.”

..... What if brain death was like wiping a hard drive ...... Now that it is cellularly active .... it is just waiting for the operating system to be installed.

Lead scientist Prof Nenad Sestan, from Yale University, said: “The intact brain of a large mammal retains a previously under-appreciated capacity for restoration of circulation and certain molecular and cellular activities multiple hours after circulatory arrest.”

Oh, wonderful...

[Gamecock]

his team noticed that small brain tissue samples routinely showed signs of cellular life returning, even when harvested hours after death.

“Ive devised a way to resuscitate dead pigs.”
“How long does it take?”
“About three days.”
“For the benefit you get, isn’t that a long time?”
“Yeah, but what’s time to a pig?”

The issue is consciousness, not cellular activity. Once oxygen is stopped to glial cells they switch to a different energy generating system, but for a limited time only.

Eyewitnesses said Lazarus had been dead and entombed for four days, yet Jesus called him back from somewhere. The consciousness of Lzarus was somewhere not interfaced with the decaying brain of the dead body. [Hint: Jesus healed the decay AND restored the interface.]
