when re-watching the intro to ME2 intro after this, there wasn't time for the cold boiling of Shepard's blood as they are entering Virmire's atmosphere, so depending on how well the Hard suit they wear can protect the body from the intense heat and impact from hitting the ground it's still possible that they still could have revived original Shepard. so it could be a mix of a clone body with the original head.

It's always fun watching these episodes. They're thought provoking, I like that.
And this one specifically made me think of how the entire body renews itself over a span of 7 years, everything but the brain. Those zombie/clone shepards should really be brain damaged beyond repair!

Dammit! I was a commie scientist in a past life, so I must hate this...

You guys might find this interesting, there is a documentary about being able to live indefinity with science...forget the name right now...but there have been experiments that have been successful where a simple computer printer was retrofitted to "print" 3d organs using stem cells instead of ink to put it simply. They had footage of a rat heart being "printed" and then becoming operational when exposed to electrical stimuli

Ohhh thanks for reminding me about that man. I've been trying to remember this, but I forgot about the "printing" part so I kept getting other search results.

Great job on the research Mat! The process of reanimation has been studied for years. This science was clearly the inspiration for Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. It was made into quite the spectacle back in the day when doctors would attach electric devices to the face of a corpse and reawaken its facial movements. According to an episode of “1,000 Ways to Die” research was used on several animals with the intent of bringing it back to life. From what I understand, all attempts failed except for one. After numerous failures one animal was brought back proving that this was a legitimate science. The problem was that the newly resurrected animal immediately sprung up and killed the doctor. Much like the zombie horror stories we hear. The doctor used a poisonous sneak as its test subject. Lack of oxygen to the brain during the time of death may lead to brain damage in a resurrected creature. The Discovery Channel covered an incident where a person died in a religious ceremony involving the poison of a blowfish and was alive again after a few hours. That person also suffered mental damage. Please keep these episodes coming. You’re a real inspiration by helping us do deep research into the things we like. We need more shows like this.
