Will we be able to resurrect the dead in the future?

[Bornstarch]

In the 3 Body Problem books, it wasn't even a debate on whether the Trisolarans could rebuild a human from just a brain in a bottle. Humans knew that they were so far ahead in science advancement that it was a given that they could.

Earth humans were afraid that the Trisolarans would come to Earth and torture the people in ways that we could not yet comprehend. People were offing themselves in fear of that possibility. But some have come to the conclusion that even killing yourself would not save you. The Trisolarans would just revive you from the dead and THEN torture you. One person went down in the deepest cave he could find on Earth and detonated explosives to the entire entrance. He was buried under hundreds of millions of tons of rock. But even that can't stop the Trisolarans for even a second.

Do you think humans will be able to resurrect the dead in the future? From literally ashes. Or even from nothing.

Even if humans wouldn't be able to figure it out in a thousand years, what about in a million years? A billion? A quintillion?

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

That sounds like a terrible Idea , they're just gonna resurrect people so they can pay any bills they died with .

Only 2 things in life is certain death and taxes...

You see the problem?

 

[Lycandroid]

you never will be able to. The soul moves on. Cloning might be a possibility but thats not really the same thing.

 

[Shane-O-Mac]

like Chris Rock once said, we can't even cure athlete's foot

 

[Adamant]

No. Not the actual person who died.

Everything is recycled, everything that was here in the big bang is still here. Just changed to different forms.

Who ever started those cremation diamonds was ahead of their time.

 

[William Huggins]

2000AD already did it......

 

[Belaya Smert]

Will i still be .0999%. Micro plastics?

 

[Cole train]

We will probably be able to raise dead before finding cure to male pattern baldness

 

[TheNinja]

Nope, when you are dead you stay dead.

Maybe they can put some sort of AI in your physical human body but it won't be "you".

 

[Pliny Pete]

We are already resurrected in Heaven

It will never truly be you, just a copy. No matter what it looks like, the "real" you is long gone.

 

[SirRealKiller]

The key to this is if there is a soul or not. I believe there is a soul and if that is the case I don't believe it can happen. This is why I don't think Cryo will ever work on humans, I think the soul will move on.

Nah, once consciousness leaves after death, it's gone to the next dimension, lifeform, or nothingness. How are we going to replicate the consciousness that leaves our people?

Agree.

I don't think there is a soul, yet not 100% sure, but I do think that whatever it was that made you YOU, is gone after death. Even when making a duplicate of something on your computer, they add that (1) to it, because the original is always going to be considered a separate and different thing. The origination of whatever it is you are duplicating is different, thus they are not the same thing.

 

[khukurikoo]

Sounds like Jurassic park for humans. Still not you though. I think we have a better chance at some sort of biotechnology extending our current lives before any type or reanimation after death takes place.

People are brought back from the dead all the time now. People who drown, or whose heart stops, etc. So that question is answered.

If you are asking 'can people be brought back in the future without severe brain or bodily damage', i would say no.

But i think taking the physical brain, into a robot body will be possible or the consciousness of the brain onto a Cloud server on a computer might be possible, in ways that you would have every sense of continuation of who you were prior, but just in a new form, if done before the brain is too damaged by death.
