Group set to try controversial technique to bring back people declared clinically dead
June 5, 2017 by Bob Yirka report
 

(Medical Xpress)—Officials with a Philadelphia-based company called Bioquark have announced that they are close to commencing clinical trials of a controversial procedure to be performed on people who have been declared clinically dead. The trials will be conducted to ascertain whether a series of therapies administered to a technically dead person can bring them back to life.

Company CEO Ira Pastor has told the press that he expects his company to begin conducting clinical trials on patients in an unidentified country in South America "very soon." He and orthopedic surgeon Himanshu Bansal made news late last year when they attempted to conduct similar trials in India. The Indian Council of Medical Research shut down such talk shortly thereafter, prompting the company to look elsewhere.

15 days???  The body is going to stink after 2!  This is madness.  Lets hope this never gets a trial.  It will do nothing to restore circulation or respiration anyway, and sounds not only stupid, but demonic.....

Every surgeon does thst.  Every man who jumps aside from a falling boulder does that.

It appears from the article that by "clinically dead" they really mean "brain dead":

There will also likely be an issue getting family members to agree to allow a brain-dead loved one to undergo such a procedure—the group reportedly had few if any takers when they were still working in India.
