I'm instantly reminded of the RoboCop scene where the brains they revived and put into robot bodies all went instantly insane

More new man-made horrors beyond my comprehention. Just like yesterday and the day before and the day before.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

No that long ago if your heart stopped, your were dead. Now if your heart stops we have good chances to rget revived even after several minutes.

This is another step in this direction. Pushing back the boundaries of death.

Yeah, pretty sure what's coming back isn't the same you, losing even a few minutes of oxygen causes massive damage right now.

Oh duh somehow I misread that they previously used pig brains and assumed they didn't for this

Based on an informative documentary series called Futurama, they traveled back in time and took the brain out of a freshly-deceased Richard Nixon's skull.
