Just how possible is it? I mean I get the feeling its pretty impossible *as well as being utterly retarded* but what do th rest of you think? 

[T_Stalker]

Well, since Shepard was found floating around in space (confirmation needed, as I'm a bit confused about this part) it's safe to say he was frozen solid. Looking at this article : http://www.cracked.c...-part-4_p2.html (#2.The Ice Woman), it's safe to assume it's not too farfetched.

Couple that with future nano-tech and I say it's plausible enough.

Anything's possible in fiction. In reality? No. Not yet anyway. The entire human body replaces itself roughly every 4 years, as old cells are always being replaced by new ones. In theory, if that replication could be harnesses and artificially reproduced or activated, then something similar could be possible at some point.

It's as possible as mass effect fields.

Actually, I have seen people use 'thermodynamics' to justify the inability to ressurect Shepard IRL, but my basic physics knowledge says that they are wrong.

It's as possible as mass effect fields.

Those could be actually possible, but there are other things in the mass efffect universe that are scientifically wrong. After all it's sci-fi, though.

Nowadays, doctors can stop the heart of a patient to perform surgery while keeping the blood flowing through artificial means. By medical definition, that patient would be considered "dead" during, say, a heart bypass. Successfully bringing that patient back to consciousness would be bringing them back from the dead.

With something like that in every day society, it's only natural to have ambitions of reviving electrical impulses in an inert brain. Science fiction repeatedly brings up the thought of ressurrection frequently enough so ME2 breaks no believability there.

Where is the "Oh look, its this topic again..." picture?

Yeah it was complete BS and an utterly retarded pointless plot twist but we have to move on.

[AdmiralCheez]

It's hard to believe he didn't burn up completely in the atmosphere. It's even harder to believe that every single neural connection in his brain was restored, bringing him back precisely as he was. Seriously, there are trillions of different ways our axons and dendrites intertwine with each other, and even the slightest amount of brain damage can completely change a person, dull their senses, destroy memories, make their personalities pull a 180.



So yeah, it's fluffy, fictitious BS. But it was still pretty cool, anyway. And it's Shepard. Shepard can do anything. Except dance.

Apparantly science fiction=magic now.

Personally I found the entire Lazarus process a massive  Wall Banger, barring any actual explanation as to how it's possible.  Mass effect fields aren't gonna cut it.

Anytime you link to that damned website iakus I club a baby seal to death. I can't stop myself, so please stop linking to it for the seal's sake.

Don't you know anything about SCIENCE!?

Unless there is something build into the suits (or pumped through the bodies of soldiers as a precaution or i dunno...) that inhibits necrosis on a cellular level than this is bs even with all futuristic tech. A dead cell is a dead cell. Especially concerning the brain.



This part of ME2 is just painful to think about. How can they write this into the plot and think it's fun or entertaining?! Ah... nevermind... it's a well-healed wound, as Jacob would say.

[Gabey5]

i think its a videogame

Indeed.  And in the Mass Effect universe, that technology is Reaper tech.  That's not Cerberus.  Unless TIM is keeping a huge secret from Shepard.

Instead the game seems to be following:

Yes, quite, well said!



Was the Lazarus Project technology based on Reaper tech? I thought I heard it was, though I forget where.

Gah, i don't like this quote. It just says that the chains of cause and effect are hard to see in advanced technologies... so friggin' what. They are still there. Even in the future nothing will pop out of thin air and damage done cannot be simply undone.

Hm...true. Still a bit of a wallbanger though.

[AlexMBrennan]

My opinion on the matter: Define "death" to mean "permanent, irreversible clinical death". Since Shepard didn't die there is no problem, and people recover from clinical death all the time.

So is overall Mass Effect depiction of technology, space combat, humanity vis a vis the galaxy, the near uniform depiction of aliens as bipeds with human emotions/proportions/cultural analogies, the premise of the Collector threat, and half the subplotsand delimmas.
