Recently there's news regarding scientist making some progress in restoring/preserving cellular functions of recently deceased animals......
Which lead me to think...... what if......
One day in near future, we achieve breakthrough in this technology, and capable of applying this practically in the field, resurrecting recently deceased veteran warfighters (those who had an intact brain left, so to speak)?
The idea is this:
So how do you think the public would respond to such an initiative? or what kind of moral, social, and political implications would this initiative bring?

One day in near future, we achieve breakthrough in this technology, and capable of applying this practically in the field, resurrecting recently deceased veteran warfighters (those who had an intact brain left, so to speak)?
The idea is this:
- During recruitment stage, fresh volunteers/recruits were offered an option to be resurrected if deceased.
- If they choose so, they shall sign a contract of agreement. (which can be rescinded before ones' unfortunate passing, should the change of mind occurs)
- The agreement contract would rendered void and invalid should one reach retirement age or was honorably/dishonorably discharged.
- But, if one dies in active duty after a decade or more in active service, the terms come to effect.
- The deceased warfighter would then be rushed to a sufficiently advance hospital to undergo the procedure.
- The warfighter's cerebral would be resurrected, and be transplanted to a new mechanical/cybernetic platform with life-support gear.
- Exact platform varies from a front-line combat platform, to a training facility administrative mainframe, or anything in between.
- Upon successful ascendance, the reborn individuals would serve according to their contracts for another 20 years in military active service, either imparting their experience in training new recruits, or fighting in front with superior experience.
- Such individuals will be granted triple their original salary and any benefits their service entitles (they can also choose to transfer their salaries to beloved ones), and they are allowed to meet/talk/contact with anyone (including their families and close ones) freely during non-deployment hours.
- Upon completion of 20 years of service, each individual could choose one of the following path:
- Granting peace, joining the ancestors in heaven.
- Continue to serve in active duty, until the cerebral finally expires or the individual changes his/her/its mind.
- Retire from active duty, and reassigned to government civil service, until the cerebral finally expires or the individual changes his/her/its mind.
So how do you think the public would respond to such an initiative? or what kind of moral, social, and political implications would this initiative bring?
