In India, they're going to resurrect the dead.
Last reviewed: 02.07.2025
An international group of specialists from the USA and India intend to conduct a sensational experiment – to bring a dead person back to life. If the tests are successful, it is quite possible that people will finally get a chance to live on earth forever.
Scientists are planning to revive dead areas of the brain in deceased people, in particular, in those who are clinically dead as a result of severe head injuries. By the way, relatives of the deceased have already given their consent to the experiment and the first operation to revive a person will be carried out by scientists in India under the supervision of Professor Himanshu Bansal. During the operation, specialists will use various innovative technologies, including injections of nutrients and stem cells from living donors.
As the scientists explained, injections will be administered into the spinal cord of the dead using a special pump - nutrients will be supplied daily, and stem cells will be supplied every 14 days. The scientists assume that it will take about 1.5 months to bring one clinically dead patient back to life. It is worth noting that Professor Bansal said that he had already succeeded in a similar experiment with two patients, but now 20 patients will be involved in the study. The current experiment, according to the scientists, will be the final stage and will show that brain death is reversible. If Bansal's group manages to prove this and bring at least one patient back to life, then medicine will experience a huge leap forward.
Bansal's group is not the only one who wants to bring people back from the realm of the dead. US researcher Josh Bocanegra is confident that in about 30 years, a method for resurrecting people will not only be found, but also successfully applied in practice. Bocanegra himself has developed a project for human resurrection. The scientist suggests that after death, a person's brain will be frozen and then implanted into a specially created artificial body. Scientists will be able to carry out all these manipulations in the near future, and returning to life will no longer be science fiction or a plot for an apocalypse movie.
It is worth noting that today scientists can freeze any human organ, including the brain, but the main problem for specialists is keeping the cells alive and suitable for transplantation.
Most scientists considered Bocanegra's idea of resurrecting people impossible, since after returning to life, a person will no longer be himself and will forget everything that happened to him before death. Also, some experts noted that a brain frozen and then implanted into an artificial body will not be able to function fully, some cells will still die and no technology will be able to restore them. Based on all this, it will be impossible to predict the thoughts and actions of a "person" resurrected in this way.
But Bocanegra and his associates are confident in the success of their project, despite the condemnation and disbelief of the scientific community, specialists continue to move little by little towards their goal.
