A biotech company in the US has been granted ethical permission to recruit 20 patients who have been declared clinically dead from a traumatic brain injury, to test whether parts of their central nervous system can be brought back to life.

Scientists will use a combination of therapies, which include injecting the brain with stem cells and a cocktail of peptides, as well as deploying lasers and nerve stimulation techniques which have been shown to bring patients out of comas.

Dr Ira Pastor, the CEO of Bioquark Inc. said: This represents the first trial of its kind and another step towards the eventual reversal of death in our lifetime.

This surely can't end up into something bad.

Either Gurren Lagann wil happen or the Walking Dead

There is no other choice

Bioquark sounds like a ripoff Umbrella Corp.

Was thinking more of the latter.

Sounds like if it works, whoever is brought back will live a really miserable life.

..test whether parts of their central nervous system can be brought back to life..

They will be monitored for several months using brain imaging equipment to look for signs of regeneration, particularly in the upper spinal cord - the lowest region of the brain stem which controls independent breathing and heartbeat.

Oh look, more clickbait headlines.

The Abominable Snowman · May 4, 2016

Even the name of the company sounds like something from an original movie on the Syfy channel.

RDreamer · May 4, 2016

These Game of Thrones advertising tie-ins are getting to be a bit much.

Sinatar · May 4, 2016

So it's for people who are brain dead, but on life support. Interesting.

InfiniteBento · May 4, 2016

You can bring back the body but never the soul.

perfectchaos007 · May 4, 2016

This is why I don't want to be cremated. Within 100 years we'll be able to revive bodies I'm sure

cirrhosis · May 4, 2016

I'd post some meme crap but instead I'll just say that i bet this is gonna be a load of shit

On the other hand now my words are now preserved for future generations to laugh at and talk about how wrong my initial expectations were.

Air · May 4, 2016

"Dr. Pastor" wants to "reanimate the dead".

I'll leave someone else to make the joke.

dan2026 · May 4, 2016

What could possibly go wrong?

Ahasverus · May 4, 2016

The story does sound like a bit of viral marketing for a zombie thing, but whatever, it's time for medical science to face its biggest and most trascendent challenges, death being one of it. Good luck to the scientists and hopefully they strike success.

Don't worry. They'll be too busy running from the hordes of shambling undead to chill out on the interwebs.

Bioquark is a terrible name and I hope whoever does eventually bring us immortal life can come up with a catchier name.

Well, this can be good.

I've seen Flatliners. Maybe you bring back more than one!

Sometimes, dead is better.

Overpopulation would truly be an epidemic if this ever happened though.

I have red hair and as people always tell me I don't have a soul so no worries for me. Suck a dick oblivion.

Absolutely. The ultimate achievement in human progress deserves something better.

Unless they are reversing aging this would have minimal impact.

FloatingDivider · May 4, 2016

Please if this ever actually worked it'd be reserved for the rich people. All of us neogaf plebs would still die. Maybe Tabris could make it he sells that sweet apartment though.

nah, the paywall would be huge.

Unless everyone starts rioting.

SliceSabre · May 4, 2016

Someone stop them. Their company name even sounds like the kind of company that would accidentally create zombies.

The tech itself sounds cool as heck though.

Jacksinthe · May 4, 2016

Ad at the bottom of the page is for YOLO Rush.

Fitting.

Broken Joystick · May 4, 2016

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

Danis Saur · May 4, 2016

Whats next, bringing Dinosaurs back to life?

Accidently? You mean we weren't meant to create zombies?

The ReAnima Project has just received approach from an Institutional Review Board at the National Institutes of Health in the US and in India, and the team plans to start recruiting patients immediately.

Do we like ReAnima?

TheGreatDirector · May 4, 2016

So what version of the undead are we thinking of here?
Return of The Living Dead talking zombies or vampiric Shiki style people?

Orbis Tabula · May 4, 2016

Bioquark, eh?

NOLA_Gaffer · May 4, 2016

Bioquark? That sounds like the kind of company Shodan would be operating.
