The Resurrection

[John 6IX Breezy]

We aren't looking at the loss of a few axons here, we're looking at wholesale mass cellular death across the entire brain. What you need to do is take that, find a point at which to begin the repairs, good luck with that BTW most of the cells that would aid in repair are also dead and decaying, and somehow work your way back to restoring the very fine-detail of exact synapse width, positioning, firing sensitivity, a host of molecules on and in the nerve cells that change the behavior of the neuron to help produce memory, etc. It's absurdly detailed work. And that's just the brain. Keep in mind that the rest of the body that you need to keep the brain working is similarly dead or dying on a cellular level.

It may appear to be absurdly detailed work, but the brain already has the ability to do it. If you sever the optic nerve of a frog, it'll find a way to reconnect all those millions of fine axons and restore vision.

Moreover, you've heard how your body replaces most of your cells every seven years. In other words, you're a living ship of theseus. So I'm not entirely sure hyperfocusing on restoring every single original cell is even necessary, maybe the answer is simply to replace them wholesale with spare cells. When you've lost blood we don't mop up every blood cell and put it back in, we just give you a new batch.

As a digression, what then are your thoughts on abiogenesis? Is it somehow easier for life to emerge by itself from scratch from the environment than it is for it to re-emerge in a cell with all the necessary components already there?
