Question: do you think it is physically possible to resurrect a human? because i have heard of previous research that the story Frankenstein was based on that electricity interacted with the nerves to the point of making the dead test subject sit up on the work bench

Hmm that’s a tough one. I didn’t know that about the history of where Frankenstein came from. I guess if your brain isn’t providing the electrical stimulus to your muscles, it might be possible to do this artificially by applying a current through the muscle (same principle as using the paddles to apply an electric current to shock the heat back into beating). However, even if you did this, it would only last as long as the current was applied. If the brain is dead, the body can’t move by itself (apart from rigor mortis which is due to the chemical changes in the muscle after death)
