If we could revive people from the dead, then we've done it all as a civilization. That is still a science fiction thing but it could actually become a reality. The reason I say this is because, recently there was an experiment conducted that was able to revive the brain of a big.
It was done by scientists in China. They managed to restart brain activity in a pig an hour after the pig was dead and the liver of the pig is at the heart of this great achievement.
The experiment combined a pig’s healthy liver with an artificial life support system and then they re-established blood flow to the brain. The end results made us realize a unique protective role of the liver in maintaining brain health. I don't know the details of how this works but that's what the scientists found out.
The main thing that makes this particular experiment worth anything is what it could do for us. We now have in our hands the possibility of human resuscitation. There are so many people that have died from cardiac arrest and trying to resuscitate them is not guaranteed but this new discovery increases our chances of doing that.
Cardiac arrest usually leave patients with very severe brain damage due to the oxygen deprivation. Now we can extend the window for brain recovery. I'll be following this research and share with you updates on it, I'm only hoping that it works on people, it could save so many people.
