Ok, I’m going to just jump in a bit here.
Once cells (of any type) stop receiving nutrients they require (oxygen, glucose etc) they become hypoxic and accumulate waste products within them. Necrosis (cell and tissue death) begins. They can no longer function. This is not like infection which causes cells to expand and die due to various factors (disease, temperature, acidity etc) but simply being cut off from all nutrients required.
If his premise is true, wha about bodies of people who die on Everest?
I would have liked the opportunity for some of my patients through the years to have had a “second chance” if you will, but unless you’re keeping them alive artificially with ECMO etc you really can’t expect miracles.
Now, this essentially could only happen in what’s termed a 15 minute city type atmosphere, and who would decide what constitutes a candidate for this? How do you rule a human being in or out of candidacy?
Practicalities and ethics would become paramount here.
I also believe that when your number is up, adios…

If it’s hot, wet and sticky and it’s not yours, don’t touch it!
