Reminds me of the scene of forensic medical resurrection in Greg Egan’s “Permutation City” (edit: sorry “Distress” - it’s been forever since I’ve read it.)

“We presume death is a thing, it is a state of being,” she said. “Are there forms of death that are reversible? Or not?”

She then said, “And with strange aeons, even death may die.”

some of the organs’ functions had turned back on

I do wonder if they’ll get beyond “some,” though. Some organ function is probably not useful for transplants, though it might be very useful for experimentation. I just can’t imagine that an organ with “some” function is what you want to stick in your body, under really any circumstances. As for reviving people - having “some” organ function means still being mostly dead…

Ever heard a pig scream before? If one of those brains ever went telepathic, we’d have a Watchmen scale apocalypse.
