In the mountains of Tibet, for a long time, there has been a legend about the living dead called rolang. The time has come and ancient myths can become reality.
American scientists are planning to begin experiments to revive the dead human brain. Biotech company Bioquark announced that it is looking for 20 patients who have been diagnosed with brain death but remain connected to life-support devices. If the experiment succeeds, what will happen to humanity? How will the new discovery affect the lives of seemingly doomed people?
The Indian hospital Anupam is in full swing preparing for clinical trials to return people from the other world. The experiment, dubbed The ReAnima Project, will be carried out on people aged 15 to 65 who have been officially diagnosed as having brain death.
The project manager, Ira Pastor, is confident that it is quite possible to restore the functions of dead neurons, especially since such cases are not uncommon in nature (it is known that many species of fish and amphibians are able to restore the lost parts of the brain even after life-threatening injuries).
Scientists are going to bring people out of a vegetative state by injecting stem cells with a synthetic protein and stimulating nervous tissue with laser pulses.
According to the experimenters, the first results can be seen in 2-3 months and they can be seen on a tomograph. If the technology justifies itself, then tens of thousands of people who fall into the trap of a vegetative state every year will have a chance to be saved.

But what will it give us in the end? If a person comes to life, what cells will interact with each other and what kind of personality will we get? The one whom we have already buried or with already altered consciousness?
However, it is doubtful to what extent a person who has returned to life will be able to recover, it is quite possible that such “lucky ones” will be doomed to severe disability. Despite criticism, scientists believe in the promise of their experiments.
