Okay, well I was on www.I-Am-Bored.com and I was in the science section on page 4 or 5 and it has an article on bringing dead Dogs back to life. And since everyone is always speaking of the subjects of the future and technologies and such I was wondering if you think it'll ever be possible to bring someone or thing back to life?! And what do you think of it?!
Personally I think it's a great subject of interest and all and I just wish they'd of thought of it in 2002 cause that's when my Dog died and she meant more to me than life

Its not possible, if your brain dies for even a few minutes you can develop problems and impairments, once your well and truly dead, your just an object. All the zapping and blood pumping isnt gonna do anything to restore you. Everything dies, just have to accept it.

Why would you want to bring something back to life and risk having it be retarded or disabled?

It would be like "Pet Cemetery!"...........BTW, I just don't it's possible, there would be brain damage...it would never wake up.

More proof that God has a sense of humor called human being.

I would bring the cat I killed back to life and have to kill it again because he would be disabled.

That's called animal cruelty bud.

i would find it freaky if you could actually bring someone back to life.

Well lets ignore the scientific side of the argument for a second.

Even if it was possible it would still be stupid, bringing back certain people would be nice but in the end it would just once again become a power tool for certain other people, world leaders dictators super soldiers, whatever... It would just end up becoming another weapon so even if it was possible we shouldn't do it. Ever.

As it stands we are all doomed anyways...If there was even a small chance to stop people from dieing you wouldnt take it?(Im not taking religion into consideration, pure atheist view)

No, overpopulation would be hell...

If we could stop people from dying and people would still get children we would have one full world. Of course we could only stop the important poeple from dying and/or only let certain people get children or just forbid reproduction. But doing all of that would be stupid, unfair, and boring as hell.

It's practicaly impossible, when something dies it can't come back, it's like trying to remake something edible from what you have already eaten. I once lost a cat of mine who ment alot to me ....

Only god can bring back the dead....

I really wasn't expecting that serious an answer, but okay.....

The answer to that problem is simple...We make our inevitable expansion to the stars. Planets can be made habitable artificially, we will begin the reign of galactic civiliazation and people will laugh when they remember at one point in human history people lived on only one planet. Ofcourse it is conceivable the universe could run out of room, but the time that would take is unimaginable...no Im not too worried about that.

And then what would we have, we would have a lot of people that would never die, except for perhaps the worst criminals. Do you know how boring that would be? How worthless live would become, even if we could deal with the practical problems of size, we would still have many other problems...

We have many problems right now...

Boring? Look at the average American middle class family...what could be more boring than that?*laughs*

But moving on yes some of the problems we have now could plague us again in eternal life, but regardless I think people living longer is a good thing. It may seem 'unnatural' to you but thats because we accept death as an inevitability, it should be realized that people dont actually have to die.

No they don't, but what do we achieve by not letting people die? Eventually you would have dictators fighting you would have huge wars being fought constantly, probably for the bringing back to live facilities as those things breed the army's... You would have people doing all kinds of stupid things just for the hell of it. I would jump out of an airplane at 10 kilometers, just for the hell of it. I mean I'd be brought back from the dead.

I don't think the world would be able to handle it effectively, and I doubt humanity would be able to handle it. I know I wouldn't even want to be able to handle it, it takes the fun out of living as you will live no matter what you do, risks are taken away and with that common sense.

i think its a good idea.. if it goes right..but it would ruin your memories if it behaved differently
