The "soul" stuff

[Rampant.A.I.]

So let's say that a person (or a chicken) dies (I mean the whole brain flatlines and all neurons die etc). The irreversible kind of death I mean. The "brain dead - sensble neurons dead - everything between the ears simply DEAD" thing.
Let's now say that we have technology that is so advanced that 2 days after a person dies we are able to put every single cell or neuron or tiny bit of his body together in tip top condition. Dendrites, synapsis, EVERYTHING.
And then we "zap" this body.
Will the person live again?
Of course no one knows the answer to this question (because no such experiments where ever made), but what are your opinions?

Electro-chemical meat machines, that's it. You've seen too many episodes of Foghorn Leghorn.

No they are not electro-chemical meat machines.
They are animals. Living animals that feel pain and despair.
Maybe they cannot write poems but they have a right to live. They are not objects. They are living beings.

Correct, meat machines like humans and animals can feel pain.
