Apparently, the old frankenstien movies were more dead-on than anyone had ever thought; if little muffy passes on, you just drain her blood, inject some water and add a liberal helping of electricity.
Human subjects are slated to be next.
Now, this begs the obvious question: "who fucking cares?" After all, a few things are glaringly obvious to anyone who reads the article.
1)If you die because you're organs are worn out (due to old age) this procedure will get you nothing.
2)Costs: good medical help doesn't come cheap. For the next few generations, the access to life-after-death rescuscitation will be restricted to the top wealthiest patients in the US. While the situation will be slightly better in canada, where everyone will have equal access to this technology; the waiting list to be revived will easily mean that you'll still have an intergenerational wait. (fixed)
3)Quality of Life: While prosthetic technology has come a long way in recent years (ensuring that any limbs that rot off can be replaced), I don't think I want a second shot at life if that means running^W shuffling around around and trying to eat peoples' brains.
While this is one of many marvels of recent medical breakthroughs, I think that we would be better off if we concentrated on myr practical, if less glamourous problems such as locating the demension that all missing socks disappear to when you do your laundry!
