I hope they have asked the express permission of the people who donated their body parts.
http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140704-i-bring-the-dead-back-to-lifeMy issue with it is, if you could, those people might feel terrible pain and not be able to express an opinion.
Really a dead brain, if there is a chance of being revived, should be treated as the human they were, rather than having the rights of a lump of meat.
There is something about that, that gives me the heebi jeebies.
People may well want to carry on as best they can, but it's the experimental bit that concerns me. I see the attraction of wanting to carry on when other body parts expire.
I suspect everything we experience in RL could be generated in the brain again given the right stimulus. ( like being able to feel legs people don't have)
Imagine being stuck in your worst nightmare with no escape.
Death can be a release for some people, this all sounds a bit like the Frankenstein monster, who in some ways was to be pitied.
( yes I know that's fiction, but disembodied and dead brains don't have any rights like a person.)
When someone revives one, one imagines they also feel the things they would have in real life.
It would be awful to find yourself floating in a glass jar, suffering again
anyone who donates body parts to science IMO need to give their express permission with this one.
They wouldn't expect to be coming back and feeling again, in some experiment.
I see the attraction, but is it ethical?
