The Undead

Also known as "Necromancy".

HYPOTHESIS: If a deceased persons were kept in a room at a temperature of exactly 98.6 degrees, with breathing apparatus which forced them to breathe decontaminated air, for 3 days, and then, an electric shock administered to their respiratory systems, would it be possible to bring said person to life?

AMENDMENT: Antibodies would have to be administered regularly in order to keep the body from decomposing.

QUESTION: Would the body's digestive systems have to have been in effect in order to allow them to restart?
If so, how would peristalsis be recreated for the 3 days required in the experiment?

SECONDARY QUESTION: Would nutrients have to be administered to the body, regardless of the fact that its processes are not in use?

ANSWER TO SECONDARY QUESTION: Yes, as otherwise the cells would die, leaving the body a heaving mass of dead tissue; however, this topic brings up the uselessness of keeping the lungs breathing, as the purpose of the lungs is to allow the bloodstream to carry oxygen/nutrients throughout the body.

NEW SECONDARY QUESTION: If nutrients were injected periodically into the body's bloodstream, would said nutrients be usable by nearby cells, and would this allow the cells to continue living?
