Reanimation of the dead

Reanimation of the dead refers to the scientific or fictional process of restoring life or function to deceased organisms. While modern medicine can revive individuals who are temporarily halted in vital functions (e.g., resuscitation), true reanimation involves restoring life to a fully dead body, which remains beyond current scientific capabilities. In fiction, reanimation often involves advanced technology, biological manipulation, or supernatural forces to bring the dead back to life. Scientifically, the concept raises complex biological and ethical questions, as current understanding focuses on preserving or repairing living systems rather than reversing death itself.
