How long until we figure out how to resurrect the dead?

>> No.7440946

define dead

>> No.7440952

With the way discoveries go we're at least a hundred years off even beginning to understand such a feat. Even if we did find a breakthrough into it nobody would be excited to pursue it because of issues like overpopulation and shit.
If we could bring back dead people who would you bring back? How much would it cost to bring back a family member?

For god this is a simple thing , for humans its an impossibility

we can already do it
it just depends on how long the person has been 'dead'

>> No.7441109

>>7440943
Well I don't think we can ever resurrect long dead people, too much information has been lost, be medical technology was been able to "resurrect" people from quiet some time, the problem is doing it soon enough after "death" and keeping them alive after

so we cant

death is a process
OP didn't specify how far into that process he wants to act
how long was jesus dead for anyway? we may have already beaten that time using science

Can you write your name neatly? Yes? Can you do it while you're being blasted with a firehose? No? So you're saying "it depends?" Well I guess you can't then.

>> No.7441310

3 days I believe.

Aren't some hypothermia survivors technically dead?

>> No.7441316

clinical death is a sketchy diagnosis tbh

It would be better to invest in extending life than in ressurecting lost life.

3 days, maybe. He might have been in a mild death like state from blood loss, and never actually died.

>> No.7441392

I think we ARE the sequel, and it sucks worse than the original because "artistic differences".

Do you think we will ever be able to resurrect people who have been dead 3+ days?

>> No.7441648

>>7441643
Yes.

God can't, so we must, especially since people with money demand it.

>> No.7441662

This is the vision of Nikolai Fyodorov: bringing back everyone through science. Physicist Frank Tipler explored the topic in "Physics of Immortality", where he imagined infinite computational power being harnessed to simulate all possible iterations and thus bringing back everyone.

A physical interpretation of Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrence may be possible too: given enough time the system may return to a previous point (c.f. Poincare recurrence).

You will NEVER recreate a persons experience.

>>7441687
The subjective "I" of the individual's identity or soul is important: loss of this continuity over time still means death for even a simulated individual brought back at some point (unless there is some mechanism for the possible disembodied soul to re-enter a new instantiation of itself).

What don't you understand about it? It's an analogy. The point is that most things you can do depend on circumstances. We can ressurect the dead in some circumstances and not others. You can read and write in some circumstances and not others.

what if i have a fireproof suit? i could read and write no matter what.
i understood the analogy, it just doesnt seem to go anywhere in this context.
