What was that again about thinking someone was dead but they came back or something like that?

Researchers have restored1 circulation and cellular activity in the vital organs of pigs, such as the heart and brain, one hour after the animals died. The research challenges the idea that cardiac death — which occurs when blood circulation and oxygenation stops — is irreversible, and raises ethical questions about the definition of death. The work follows 2019 experiments by the same scientists in which they revived the disembodied brains of pigs four hours after the animals died, calling into question the idea that brain death is final.
The latest experiments are “stunning”, says Nita Farahany, a neuroethicist at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Although this study is preliminary, she says it suggests that some perceived limitations of the human body might be overcome in time.
We need to ask ourselves the basic question of, "How much time has to pass before your dead body can be reanimated and used for whatever others want?"
Will that even be you anymore, even if you have all of your faculties?
Will the average person be able to tell a reanimated person from a still living person?
Maybe the idea that Joe is dead is real, and he is one of these reanimated people? I would say that stranger things could happen, but I don't want to give anyone ideas. I brought up GI Joe as a way of telling people what was going on before, but now we could be looking at a full on COBRA Serpentor as a real possibility. What a weird world.
The research, published Tuesday in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, describes a man who was connected to brain scans when he suffered a heart attack and died.
The scans, which had never been captured on a dying human before, showed the man experienced the types of brain waves associated with memories, meditation, and dreaming right before — and even about 15 seconds after — his heart stopped beating.
“We measured 900 seconds of brain activity around the time of death and set a specific focus to investigate what happened in the 30 seconds before and after the heart stopped beating,” said Dr Ajmal Zemmar, a neurosurgeon at the University of Louisville, US, who organised the study.

GF, I like the way you have put that together. It strikes a chord. I recall another study about the body weight changing as the consciousness dissipates, and the brain is surely dead. Suggesting to me that we do have a real "soul", or whatever it really is, that goes somewhere. I am emotionally betting heavily on the ones choosing love move on to a better place.
Not intercepting Pelosi's flight does not mean a failure of the PLA. On the contrary, the Chinese mainland chose to avoid an incident that could trigger a World War III but instead to takePelosi's Taiwan visit as a chance to push forward the progress of reunification, starting with the island-blockading, combat-rehearsing drills that could become routine, analysts said.

On February 1, Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper signed orders directing NORTHCOM to execute nationwide pandemic plans. Secretly, he signed Warning Orders (the WARNORD as it's called) alerting NORTHCOM and a host of east coast units to "prepare to deploy" in support of potential extraordinary missions.
