I was thinking, as our technology progresses, we will inevitably be able to expand life for hundreds of years -- if not indefinitely. (I didn't say this was going to happen tomorrow, of course.)
This got me thinking. If we were able to extend our lives to such great lengths, then dying by unnatural causes would be something people would worry more and more about as their chances would increase.
So, this leads me to my question, is there a field that studies "resurrections"? Sorry for the biblical terminology but I don't know how else to explain it. I mean, is there a field that studies how to bring individuals back from death after such unnatural deaths? If not, do you suppose that field would be popping up as we begin to increase life span?
