These are large differences. We can argue about inefficiencies, but people do recover from decades-long comas. People don't recover from being dead as a doornail.
- metalcrow 3y ago> People don't recover from being dead as a doornail Not yet they don't. Plus, depends on how you define dead. I know people who have recovered from being dead quite a few times.
- woodruffw 3y agoThat's why I said "doornail"; the people in question are sufficiently dead that the company here doesn't think they're at risk of being sued for killing someone. Maybe we'll be able to reanimate people eventually; for the time being, people definitely do recover from comas.
- metalcrow 3y agoHaha, i'm not exactly familiar with that medical terminology. But agreed, that's fair, comas do have known examples of recovery, this doesn't. It's more like the first ever comas.
