Scientists have launched a project to regenerate the brain dead – RSUTE

For the study we have selected 20 people who are diagnosed with brain death.
Biotech companies Bioquark Inc (USA) and Revita Life Sciences (India) received permission from the authorities in the investigation into the field of dead brain regeneration, reports BBC.

We know that scientists have already selected 20 people who were diagnosed with brain death. In this vital activity of these patients maintained artificially.

It is reported that the brain regeneration procedure will be carried out using stem cells and neyropetidov. In addition, the methods of transcranial laser therapy and electroneurostimulation upper extremities are involved.

Recent studies in this area have shown that the “dead” brain of such patients still shows weak electrical signals and regulates circulation. Though this is not enough, and to maintain the body’s normal functioning, the researchers believe that there may be has the potential for new research.

Doctors ascertain brain death, when a person ceases to be recorded electrical brain activity and breathing stops. Managing the vital functions of the body, carried out by the brain, stops, and in the absence of permanent external support comes biological death.

At the same time in the body, such technically dead patients can often artificially maintained the blood circulation, digestion, growth and tissue regeneration, they have sexual function, their body can be exposed to a cold, they may even bear a child and give birth.

The most recent studies have shown that in the brain of these patients are registered weak electrical signals and blood circulation, but it is not enough to maintain the functioning of the whole body.

some representatives of wildlife, such as amphibians and, in particular, salamanders, as well as some fish can recover, regenerate and rebuild substantial sections of his brain and the brain stem after the fatal injury, and scientists hope that they will be able to launch a similar brain regeneration in humans.

for Neuroethics specialist at Oxford University, Anders Sandberg, commenting in an interview with BBC BBC the news, he said that the main issue is whom researchers will, if successful: the same patient, who was on the surgical table, or a completely different personality

«We want integrity. Life – is a continuous, integral process. And those who came brain death, has a usable body, only “house no one” – no consciousness, it does not work “, – Sandberg says

« When will regain consciousness, it can be. not exactly the one that was initially, and then the conflict of personality may be “- warns scientist

« has been proved that a man can perfectly live with a transplanted him a stranger or artificially created body.. So you can imagine that as a result of the recovery of brain activity will be possible to extend the life of the individual, or get a few modified identity. The ethical question is exactly what we want to achieve “, -. The expert

At the same time, as pointed out in an interview with the British Daily Telegraph founder, president and head of the research unit Bioquark Inc Professor Sergei Paylian scientists They hope to use this research to get a unique opportunity to better understand and therefore treat phenomena such as coma, waking coma, as well as degenerative diseases of the central nervous system such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
