I don't think your scenario is as different as you think. Depending on what we mean by "back to life", a trick is in fact much more likely than something thought to be biologically impossible. If we eliminated the possibility of a trick -- that is, proved beyond a doubt that 11 people were dead, and then alive -- I would absolutely not be ready to attribute it to some new treatment. Natural law is being violated here! I would instead start checking for other possibilities, like: - Are other people spontaneously reanimating around the world, or just in this study? - Did these 11 people have anything else in common? Extraterrestrial origin, perhaps? Unusual religious beliefs? - Hang on, let's double (triple, quadruple, etc.) check that they were really dead. And then go back and check again. - And by all means, start a proper clinical trial of the new treatment while we're trying to understand how resurrection is even possible.
