Playing with the dead is often a nightmare waiting to happen. The Medical Industrial Complex has plans to map the brain and revive it, hours after the body has died. The company, BioQuark, was approved to begin experiments with family permission on clinically brain-dead patients and attempt to reanimate or bring them back to life and possibly stimulate their brain cells to regenerate themselves. Do we see this as ethical? Does this push the boundaries of science into playing God or is it all Frankenscience that needs to be monitored? Some argue that this is just one step forward in our evolution or perhaps it nullifies the concept of survival of the fittest. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time) Clyde Lewis talks with author, nurse, and Death Doula, Lynn Monet about THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE.
