Remember that story of spending violent money to get a reinforced underground shelter and protect yourself from zombie attacks? Well, this may be a good time to break the piggy and look for a broker with access to one of these properties. That's because a US biotech company got the backing to start a, let's say, unusual procedure: resurrecting 20 dead people.

That is, technically dead, since the “candidates” for the experiment to be conducted by Bioquark are only kept alive due to the help of devices. Called the ReAnima Project, the initiative recently got the go-ahead from both US and Indian health departments to conduct a six-week test battery at the Indian hospital in Anupam. The idea involves the use of stem cells and nerve stimulation to resuscitate patients.

Some patients are kept alive - with the help of braces - even after brain death.

Company CEO Dr. Ira Pastor believes this is an important step for humanity to reverse death in the near future. "To carry out something so complex, we are combining medical regeneration tools with other devices commonly used for central nervous system stimulation, " the Bioquark boss explained in a statement.

As it has been observed that fish and some amphibians can mitigate this scenario through self-regeneration, the goal is to replicate this in our species.

The project builds on a series of recent scientific studies to hope for success, particularly those that say the human body maintains a certain level of blood and electrical activity in the brain even after organ failure. The problem? The intensity of this operation is not sufficient for us to function properly. As it has been observed that fish and some amphibians can mitigate this scenario through self-regeneration, the goal is to replicate this in our species.

Coming back from the dead

So far, the first results of India's clinical trials are expected to begin to take shape in two or three months - giving insight into the effectiveness of the method and the adjustments needed to effectively resuscitate these people. It remains to be seen if this time will be enough for everyone to know if this is a noble initiative to increase the longevity of accident victims or other serious trauma or if it is the real version of the scriptwriting of undead movies and series.
