This is problematic. For young trauma patients, it looks like a no brainer, but for older medical patients, how old is too old? Who plays God?

The catch is that, once revived, they develop an overpowering hunger for living flesh.
Looks like it’s started.....

What happens if they end up being able to do it to someone that’s been dead for a couple days?

Who plays God? With the IRS being involved in Obamacare, I think they will deny that they will be merely "playing".

Don’t we, in effect, “play God” every time we treat a patient medically? God is capable of calling home His own when their time is up.

It would be interesting to know the real effects on the brain.

This technique is great because it keeps oxygen and blood flowing to prevent organ damage, especially brain damage until the person can be “fixed.” :) It’s not going to work on anyone who’s been dead for more than a few minutes before started.
To: neverdem
If they are revived, they were not dead
If clinical death is not “death” then will they stop organ harvesting and stop death by dehydration of coma victims and locked in victims and twilight consciousness people because they think their brains are “clinically dead”
or call it euthanasia?

Health insurance companies will love this.
“Sorry, you’re coverage expired when you did. All of the costs for bringing you back are on you”.

When does the soul leave the body? If they resuscitate, does the soul return? If the body has no soul does it get elected President?

I didn’t have the heart compression mentioned here, but I got the extra oxygen and then ECV — Electrocardioversion — to stop my heart — then get it going again at a regular beat rather than the 100-140 resting heart beat that I had been experiencing due to a-fib.
