Daily Mail UK – The first attempts to bring people back from the dead are slated to start this year.
Bioquark, a Philadelphia-based company, announced in late 2016 that they believe brain death is not ‘irreversible’.
And now, CEO Ira Pastor has revealed they will soon be testing an unprecedented stem cell method on patients in an unidentified country in Latin America, confirming the details in the next few months.
To be declared officially dead in the majority of countries, you have to experience complete and irreversible loss of brain function or ‘brain death’.
According to Pastor, Bioquark has developed a series of injections that can reboot the brain – and they plan to try it out on humans this year.
They have no plans to test on animals first.
The team said they planned to examine individuals aged 15-65 declared brain dead from a traumatic brain injury using MRI scans, in order to look for possible signs of brain death reversal.
Specifically, they planned to break it down into three stages.
First, they would harvest stem cells from the patient’s own blood, and inject this back into their body.
Next, the patient would receive a dose of peptides injected into their spinal cord.
I’m no neurosurgeon but if you’ve seen the movie Flatliners, fucking with dead stuff is a terrible idea. Natural selection is mother nature’s great equalizer, and there are very specific reasons why dead people stay dead.
What happens if these guys bring your dad back to life and he brings minions of demons with him from hell that hunt humankind? What happens when those demons turn earth into a colony of satanic slaves that exist only to do the devil’s work?
Or your girlfriend is revived, and the side effect of her never dying is that the large smelly wound on her face remains forever too?
The worst scenario would be being brought back to life after dying at 98; you wake up only to find you’re trapped in the same shitty body you didn’t want. Imagine how pissed you’d be to wake up in a hospital only to be told you’re an experiment and can’t leave.
I haven’t brought up the zombie thing either because it’s too much of a gimme.
Let the dead stay dead. It’s the right thing to do
