Scientists get-green light to resurrect the dead with stem cells. Presuming this is true, who do you want to bring back first
This is a TERRIBLE idea. The unintended consequences are going to be swift, sure, and devastating.
Once again, just because we CAN do a thing, does not mean that we SHOULD do a thing.
We die for a reason. This planet is already over-populated as it is.
Think about it for just one minute. Think about every book, tv show, or movie, you have EVER read or seen that covers re-animation of the dead.
It NEVER ends well.
The practical applications of this "proposed research" will turn out to be a HUGE mistake.
In answer to your question. I wouldn't want to bring anyone "back".
I can guarantee you, beyond any doubt, they would not be the same person they were before they died.
Again, this is a really, REALLY BAD idea.
Ditto !!!
This is madness! Did these scientists learn nothing from the movie, Pet Sematary?
Rational Wiki reports themindunleashed.org is a pseudoscientific, woo-peddling, clickbait ... data from studies and present it as scientific fact for their own gain. [themindunleashed.org] IS also themindunleased.com
There is not much evidence that this would work. However, in fun, I would bring back the Framers of the U.S.A. constitution so they could see what happened and interpret it for us in light of the modern world.
This is bunk, BUT, playing along with the premise: I would bring back my lord and savior, Genghis Khan.
After the army of your lord savior Genghis Khan burned villages one could not pass near that village for months from the stench of burning, and rotting flesh. Pick another.
Although I don't think there is anything substantiated in this.
But if I had to pick a person, it would be Carl Sagan.
It's a misleading article. It is really only about bringing people out of comas. People in comas are not completely dead despite what the article implies by calling them "brain dead".
Someone recently dead. Zombiefied corpses, even thinking ones would stink. And how long, if possible, would regeneration of rotting skin, muscle, etc would it take.
This would be a privately funded study. No institute of higher learning would touch this or ever get approved for something this ridiculous. Obviously this is a waste of precious stem cells.
So how come I cannot get a reconstituted pancreas to cure my diabetes
I know a doctor that is working on just that, did gene therapy on a boy with type 1 and is growing him a pancreas now...so hopefully soon.
@genessabut injecting live stem cells to grow into working beta cells is not at all impossible. It has only one drawback. It causes cures and eliminates patients. You knw what I mean?
here is a better source and there are a LOT more reasons to doubt than to trust, especially considering that no animal tests have been done, and success would rely on blood flow to the brain, which in a dead person simply is not happening. note that the proposed subjects are brain dead but certainly on life support. nobody is digging up corpses here. still, i wouldn't, pardon any inherent pun, hold my breath.

ridiculous "announcement" and if the question were asked without it, i might be inclined to play, but no, not with even the hint of a presumption that this is true. sorry.

Who really thinks this would work? Birdseye pioneered the frozen vegetables picked fresh from the vine. Veggies like peas were in that group. It would be easier to un-freeze the peas and attach them back onto the vines than it would to use stem cells to bring back the dead. Frankly I don't think either idea would work.
