Description - This photo is a still from the 1931 film Frankenstein where Dr. Frankenstein attempts to resurrect a corpse he stitched together and is successful in his attempt.

Connection - Although not an exact example of resurrecting the dead because he used a built corpse and not someone recently deceased, its still the same principals and was one of the first films to feature this idea.

Description - Jesus might be the most famous case of resurrecting the dead, although it wasn't by science rather than god but it still stands as the most well "documented" case of resurrection.

Connection - Religion is a huge part of all types of pseudoscience like resurrecting the dead and the case of Jesus is well known by all even getting its own religious holiday.

Description - A man in South Africa claimed he had the power to resurrect the dead, however it turned out to be a scam.

Connection - A big danger in pseudoscience is the fact that people can get scammed, he was playing off of people emotions in order to get them to believe in something with very little definitive evidence.

Description - Sciences has been able to reanimate pig brains and have the possibility to do the asme with primate brains.

Connection - They've related the ideas to human brains with the possibility of brining consciousness back to the dead brains, this could be a step toward immortality. One scientist warns of the negative effects such action child cause. Modern science might have the answer to mortality though.

A scientific experiment to reanimate dead brains could lead to humans enduring a 'fate worse than death,' an ethics lecturer has warned.

Last month Yale University announced it had successfully resurrected the brains of more than 100 slaughtered pigs and found that the cells were still healthy.

The reanimated brains were kept alive for up to 36 hours and scientists said the process, which should also work in primates, offered a new way to study intact organs in the lab.

Although the pigs did not regain consciousness, the team admitted that it may be possible to restore awareness, and the experiments open the door to the prospect of human brains being kept alive outside of the body.

However, Nottingham Trent ethics and philosophy lecturer Benjamin Curtis said it could lead to humans enduring a "living hell".

"Even if your conscious brain were kept alive after your body had died, you would have to spend the foreseeable future as a disembodied brain in a bucket, locked away inside your own mind without access to the sense that allow us to experience and interact with the world," he told The Conversation. "In the best case scenario you would be spending your life with only your own thoughts for company.

Description - Scientists have attempted to revive brain activity in patients who are brain dead.

Connection - Being brain dead is similar to actually being dead as theres no activity in your brain your body is just keeping itself alive so the idea of re stimulating brain activity could transfer to resurrecting fully dead bodies.

"It's our contention that there's no single magic bullet for this, so to start with a single magic bullet makes no sense. Hence why we have to take a different approach," Bioquark CEO, Ira Pastor, told .

As Pastor told the Washington Post last year, he doesn't believe that brain death is necessarily a permanent condition, at least to start. It may well be curable, he argued, if the patient is administered the right combination of stimuli, ranging from stem cells to magnetic fields.

The resuscitation process will not be a quick one, however. First, the newly dead person must receive an injection of stem cells derived from their own blood. Then doctors will inject a proprietary peptide blend called BQ-A into the patient's spinal column. This serum is supposed to help regrow neurons that had been damaged upon death. Finally, the patient undergoes 15 days of electrical nerve stimulation and transcranial laser therapy to instigate new neuron formation. During the trial, researchers will rely on EEG scans to monitor the patients for brain activity.

This isn't the first time that Bioquark has attempted this study. Last April, the company launched a nearly identical study in Rudrapur, India. However, no patients enrolled and the study wound up getting shut down that November by the Indian government over clearance issues with India's Drug Controller General. Bioquark is reportedly nearing a deal with an unnamed Latin American country to hold a new trial later this year.

Whether the treatment will actually work is an entirely different matter. Bioquark admits that it has never actually tested the regimen, even in animals, and the various component treatments have never themselves been applied to brain death. They've shown some promise in similar cases like stroke, brain damage and comas but never actually Lazarus-ing a corpse.

"I think [someone reviving] would technically be a miracle," Dr. Charles Cox, a pediatric surgeon at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, told Stat News. "I think the pope would technically call that a miracle."

1. I'm most surprised that real scientists were trying to resurrect bodies as far back as the 1960's.

2. Death is something that many people fear, including me. The idea of resurrection or immortality is incredible interesting and could be comforting to some.

3. I found the modern day science the most interesting because with the level of technology and research we have its very possible that a breakthrough could happen very soon.

4. I'm most likely to remember the research on bringing pigs brains back to life because that's very solid evidence for the idea that humans could be resurrected too.

5. I think the most harmful pseudoscience is the anti-vax / faith healing movements because unlike most other ideas these cause real harm. Children die because of peoples negligence. The least harmful in my opinion is aliens / ufo's because I think these hold real weight and are the most likely to actually be true.

6. I think the most important knowledge to pass on would be that. skepticism and being critical is very important on this topic. Not only in most information being a scam but also in questioning if it should ever happen or not.

Description - 5 decades ago scientists were experimenting with reviving corpses but were unsuccessful.

Connection - Sciecnstist have been trying to figure out a cure for clinical death as far back as 5 decades which gives more credit to the theory of resurrecting the dead and takes away some of the scepticism of "pseudoscience".

"Oh, let Your dead revive! Let corpses arise! Awake and shout for joy, You who dwell in the dust!- For Your dew is like the dew on fresh growth; You make the land of the shades come to life." Isaiah 26:19 (The Israel Bible™)

On Friday, Dr. James Bedford will be celebrating an anniversary no other person has ever achieved in all of human history: the 51st anniversary of being frozen in what amounts to a scientific attempt at resurrecting the dead. While Dr. Bedford waits patiently on ice, scientists search for a method of reviving him and theologians discuss where his soul is.

Dr. Bedford was cryopreserved on January 12, 1967, after being declared legally dead. His remains are being preserved at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation. Dr. Bedford was science's first attempt at cryonics, the low-temperature preservation of people who cannot be sustained by contemporary medicine. To date, Alcor has more than 1,618 members, including 354 associate members, with 149 in cryopreservation as whole bodies or brains.

Since the process of thawing the body has yet to be developed and the cure for clinical death does not currently exist, cryonics is performed with the hope that resuscitation and restoration to full health may be possible sometime in the future. Implicit in this process is the belief that will only consider a person properly preserved if they can be revived with all of their memories intact with the understanding that long-term memory is stored in cell structures and molecules within the brain.

Rabbi Doniel Katz, a Torah educator who lectures on consciousness, is skeptical of the attempts at cryonics and the reasoning behind it.

"So far, science has succeeded in freezing a person but has not succeeded in reviving a person," Rabbi Katz told ( Breaking Israel News . " Maybe the body could be revived, but to be tchiyat hametim resurrection of the dead), their consciousness would need to be fully restored."

Rabbi Katz emphasized that even though materialist philosophy dictates that consciousness and the 'self' are contained solely in the brain, there is no scientific proof of this theory.

"Science is still debating about the nature of consciousness," Rabbi Katz said. "They believe that consciousness is in the brain, the information and data floating around inside your skull. That is not consciousness, and even scientists have not been able to pinpoint where this elusive concept of self actually exists, or even how it relates to the brain."

The question of the nature of consciousness and how it relates to what happens after death is at the very core of religion, so the rabbi has a ready answer.

"In Kabbalah, your brain is the interface between the soul and the body," Rabbi Katz explained. "Self and awareness are outside of the body and the brain brings awareness into the body. It may one day be possible to transfer your memory, all the data from your brain, into a computer, but this is not possible for the neshama (soul). The neshama is what guides the brain."

"From a Torah perspective, it will never be possible to transfer the 'self', the free will, into a computer," Rabbi Katz said. "The only way that will ever happen is through a true resurrection of the dead."

Rabbi Moshe Avraham Halperin of the Machon Mada'i Technology Al Pi Halacha (the Institute for Science and Technology According to Jewish Law) sees cryogenics as a misguided attempt to preempt the resurrection of the dead and, as such, it is problematic spiritually and ethically.

"Even if they overcome the technical difficulties, it will in no way be similar to the resurrection of the dead," Rabbi Halperin told . "Man is defined by his purpose in the world, by his reason to exist, which is to do Breaking Israel News mitzvot (Torah commandments) and to serve God. The resurrection of the dead is an extension of this aspect of life, allowing people to continue to serve God for yet another period. The goal of simply restarting the thought process ignores the basis of what man is."

In addition to the theological shortcomings, the process goes against moral codes established in Jewish law.

" Jewish law is extremely careful in how we treat the body after death, Rabbi Halperin said, citing sources in the Bible.

By the sweat of your brow Shall you get bread to eat, Until you return to the ground- For from it you were taken. For dust you are, And to dust you shall return." Genesis 3:19

You must not let his corpse remain on the stake overnight, but must bury him the same day. Deuteronomy

There are stringent laws pertaining to the handling of dead bodies in Judaism. One reason is that a dead body is the most powerful source of ritual impurity. Even though the soul is no longer connected to the body, the body is still an important aspect of the person.

"A man is composed not just of his thoughts," Rabbi Halperin said. "What we call a soul is contained within the entirety of the mind and the body, the thoughts and the emotions. It is for this reason that the resurrection of the dead includes the body and is not just a mental or spiritual process."
