Scientists Get Green Light To Bring Back Dead To Life With Stem Cells

[Helena]

US biotechnology company called Bioquark has been given permission to recruit 20 clinically dead patients and attempt to bring their central nervous systems back to life. They hope to eliminate patients’ need to rely on machines by reanimating parts of the upper spinal cord, where the lower brain stem is located, to potentially energize vital body functions like breathing and heartbeats.

Trial participants will have been declared certified dead and kept alive solely through life support machines. “This represents the first trial of its kind and another step towards the eventual reversal of death in our lifetime,” said CEO of Bioquark Inc., Ira Pastor.

The team, who has been granted ethical permission from an Institutional Review Board at the National Institutes of Health in the US and India to begin trials on 20 subjects, is looking to recruit patients for its ReAnima Project as soon as possible.

Scientists remain skeptical about an experimental approach to reverse brain death



Trial participants? Are they willing participants? From 2017:

But the process is fraught with questions. How do researchers complete trial paperwork when the person participating is, legally, dead? (In the United States, state laws most often define death as the irreversible loss of heart and lung or brain function.) If the person did regain brain activity, what kind of functional abilities would he or she have? Are families getting their hopes up for an incredibly long-shot cure?

Answers to most of those questions are still far off. “Of course, many folks are asking the ‘what comes next?’ question,” Pastor acknowledged. “While full recovery in such patients is indeed a long term vision of ours, and a possibility that we foresee with continued work along this path, it is not the core focus or primary endpoint of this first protocol.”

So I guess they worked out how to get these dead participants legally, although I didn't see anything in the updated article revealing how that came about.

I don't like this.
We already have enough brain dead people walking around.

Folly on every level. They are not God. They like to think they are, but they aren't.

If the soul doesn't return to the body, what is going to happen- I doubt anything good.

If you can't prove to them that there is a soul, I really don't think they give a $#@! what anyone thinks.

True. Science is used to cause harm to humans at times. I am interested to see what this ends up as.
