Dead could be brought 'back to life' in groundbreaking project

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.

As long as they don't try to "engineer a virus" that will go into the brain and bring the dead back to life I am cool with it.

This is how it all starts.

The lord of light approves.

So they will see if it works by monitoring whether the corpse gets a hard-on?

Oh so that's how the zombie apocalypse will start. Cool

That's pretty cool. I hope they can make it work.

What is dead may never die.

So where are these stem cells pulled from?
