Scientists are looking at how to reanimate the brain

US company Bioquark, which was established to develop new technologies to help repair and reanimate the organ after death, is claiming dying may not be the absolute end.

Ira Pastor, head of the company, wrote for Singularity Weblog: “We are repeatedly told through the medical establishment that brain death is ‘irreversible’ and should be considered the end of the line.
