    If I'm dead then how do I know it worked? And what if the person I resurrected was murdered the next day? Or what if he was having a great afterlife and partying and I ruined it? So many things could go wrong.

    So no... I wouldn't

    • Hypothetically, IF there is an assurance that the person you're bringing back to life would live a full life meaning live until they are still sentient and above the standard life expectancy. Would you consider anyone?

        I would die then bring myself back to life, which would create an infinite life span loop which means I would open a worm hole and bring everybody that ever died back to life. Then, now knowing what happens after death, use that knowledge to take over the new world.

        I don't even know man

    How about you just break my legs so Stephen Hawking can walk again?

    No.
    Most of the people I would want to bring back would not wish for me to do so and would probably feel a lot of regret for my having done that for them.

  • Since it's hypothetical...yes. For any of my children. They're all alive so obviously that's not an option, but then again...this isn't exactly a scenario that could ever happen.

      Beat me to it. Damn! If he came back to life we'd have free electricity and world peace within a decade.

      What good would having an erect penis be if you were dead. I suppose they'd have to cut a hole in your coffin to let it stick out.

    I would give my life in a second to bring back my best friend. She had a husband, 3 young sons and a happy, full life. I had, and still have nothing.

    I'd only trade my life when I'm ready to die, which could be a long time from now. But if I could bring someone back-then of course that person would have to have some great value for the world.

    In my view that person would be Einstein. He could make even greater breakthroughs today than he could 100 years ago.

    But just imagine this man's genius, he came up with ideas that have only been proven recently because our technology has advanced enough to test them like space-time frame dragging as well as time dilation and gravitational lensing.

    Of course he's not the only genius out there, there was also Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo, Newton, Satyendra Nath Bose (the man behind Bose-Einstein Statistics/Condensate) and had particles named after him-Bosons.

    Einstein was something of a mutant in that his brain had double the density of neurons than the average human in the centers responsible for math and analytical thinking.

    So clearly he had a superior intellect by design. I believe it is geniuses like that which drive humanity and civilization as well as technology forward.

    I would not. I'm young, let me have my turn to change the world. Although, I will admit that I would like to bring Tesla back, but I don't know if I would want to die for it.

    Nikola Tesla.

    Never did a greater genius walk the Earth. Neither Hawking, nor Einstein, nor da Vinci, nor Jesus Christ himself was a greater blessing to the world. He did things a hundred years ago that we still can't do today.

    The most plausible explanation for his knowledge is that he was a time traveler from the distant future, and his experiments were attempts to return to the future. If he could come back to life today, he might be able to summon the jiggawatts to do it.

    I've designated my life to try to serve others, so I would gladly die for anyone.

    I'd just make a poll first and make sure the person I revived is worth reviving.

    No but I would die in place of my wife or daughter. Mainly because I can't bare the thought of outliving my daughter or trying to raise the kids without my wife.

    Yes, perhaps Fred Hollows or another charitable surgeon. I figure they save the most lives. Though I'd probably do it for just about anyone really as long as there was more good than bad to them.
