If one whishes to be left dead after being declared dead, is that suicide or euthanasia?
 
As someone who works in the clinical trials industry, what I wouldn’t give to work on this trial
 
So all you have to do is waive the insurance for being declared dead.
 
So I just read a bit more about this, and boy does it sound like a train wreck. Trial carried out in a single country with few participants, no phase 1 or phase 2 trials conducted beforehand, and seemingly no successful proof of concept either.

I’m a big fan of mad science, but this sounds about as likely to succeed as me trying to fly by strapping on bird wings made out of papermache

Mary Shelley’s novel was very good, but it was just fiction.

Ah I beat you to the reverence by sheer seconds!!
Mary shelly’s main theme was one of responsibility and accountability.
Hopefully that lesson has been learned. I fear it has not though.
 
I am sure there will be a hefty price tag, whether it works or not! And there are those who will try!
 
So you die of something, and you are clinically dead and they revive you. But you still have the condition that killed you in the first place. If it killed you then, the odds are it will kill you again unless a miracle occurred while you were “dead”.

I prefer to die when I am supposed to and then have eternal life in Christ.
 
How is this any different than the place that cyrogenically freezes you? A certain legendary baseball player allegedly went that route.
 
This experimental treatment sounds a bit like CPR of the brain. From reading about the ReAnima Project – the hope is patients travel through stages to reverse the cessation of all activity in both the brain and brain stem. From vegetative state, coma, minimally conscious state to hopes of an independent functional state.

The desperate families that may attempt such an effort may be parents of a child who suffered a traumatic brain injury; or their heart stopped and the brain went without oxygen. Yet, what if such a patients could only be revived to coma or a vegetative state?

The ethical implications are vast. I suppose it could be an ethical treatment in some situations if the probability of success was reasonable.

Ira Pastor, the CEO of Bioquark sounds open to (name removed by moderator)ut. In the future, maybe the National Catholic Bioethics Center will offer feedback.
“We think it’s entirely feasible,” Pastor says.

Since Bioquark received approval for its clinical trial last month, shockingly few people have voiced concern over the reserach, Pastor says. Most of the feedback from brain specialists working in intensive care units has been overwhelmingly positive. “You talk to these folks, you tell them what you’re doing, and they’ll tell you it’s not that far-fetched—it’s a hard program, and it will take a while, but they say it can happen,” he adds. There also hasn’t been any backlash from religious groups—“No one from the Vatican has called and chastised us for playing God. I don’t see it like that,” Pastor says.

The Indian Council of Medical Research shut down such talk shortly thereafter, prompting the company to look elsewhere.

Looks like Dr. Frankenstein is alive and well operating in an undisclosed S.American country now.

Have they done animal trials?

Why does this sound like the episode in Walking Dead when they saw a CT scan of a brain regenerating and turning into something inhuman.
 
So if a criminal is sentenced to death, and he is revived, is he free having paid he sentence to society?

I would like to know how they intend to bring the soul back to the body of which it cannot live without and of which they have NO control over!!!
