Are we reanimating cells that are functioning in independent ways? And this gets back to the organ recovery. Is there no electrochemistry going on when you reanimate cells, even if it's just the chemistry that you introduce? So no, unfortunately not again. But I would say, so we kind of restored the environment of the cells and actually targeted their functions because they were in that process of dying.
Can we bring people back from the dead? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice discuss restoring dead cells, the nature of consciousness, Frankenstein's monster, zombies, and more with neuroscientist, David Andrijevic and consciousness expert, George Mashour.
