      Hi there

      At the moment in terms of reviving a complete person after they have formally died, no.

      However bits of people keep can keep living after the main person has died – by transplanting their organs. It’s not resurrection because that part of the body never died, but it’s still part of someone living after death.

      I don’t think we’d be able to properly answer that question until we know how consciousness works, and we are a long way from knowing that!
