Not only do the pigs spark back to life but they also start mumbling something like aloha snackbar

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

Jan in the Pan... The Brain That Would Not Die

Yikes! Totally missed that reference. Had to Google it. Never saw this movie, or even heard of it. Looks like I missed a good one. ;-)

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.
