I'm just trying to think of practical applications when this let's say is fully developed. Is this something where I kind of don't have oxygen going to my brain for a long time? And instead of brain dead, you're able to help me not be that. What what helps like we're at the moment not sure how it will reflect all the other organs and like what the future will bring us. But we hope that at least we can restore these vital organs such as kidney, liver, heart, lungs, pancreas - even that we have tested in our study.
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.
