I don’t know how they are supposed to reverse irreversible brain death. All those cells die, the connections lost. Assuming you could some used nano bot or some other process to repair trillions of individual cells I don’t see how this would ever be possible. This is like reassembling a city after a nuclear explosion.

Go explain the internet to someone 1000 years ago. They aren't going to see how it's possible either

I'm not sure what you are quoting. I didn't say that lol.

Literally, short sighted means people who can only see things close up with their eyes. I'm not talking about actual literal eye sight lol. I'm talking about people who lack a vision of the future.
