      almost for sure not. But then, what would that mean? if somebody dies very old, and his/her mind is very weak as often happens with old people, would you bring them back to the state they were the day before dying? What for? would you bring them back to their youth? who choses? I honestly do not think there is a “soul” disconnected from the body, so basically from our brain, since all of us are continuously changing: we are not the same as 10 years ago, our way of thinking, ideas and values change continuously.

      I don’t think so. People die because their bodies have stopped working properly, and after you die your body decomposes even more. I don’t think it will ever be possible to put those bodies back into a state where they work properly again.

      Almost certainly not. When you die changes start happening immediately as your cells, like in your brain, degrade and all that information gets lost.

      We might one day beable to ‘reanimate’ a body with technology, but it would just be using electrical impulses to control muscles. The mind would be gone and you’d just have a freakish zombie robot.
