The only way to consider the Lazarus Project is that it was a complete exception and unrepeatable.
No way to posit that convincingly. Even if you consider that Reaper tech might have been involved, what was once done can be repeated. It's just a matter of persistence and resources.
Otherwise you've got people wondering why there's no cure to Kepral's Syndrome, Ardat-Yakshi 'disease' or whatever Miranda's infertility is.
Actually, Ardat-Yakshi syndrome can be cured if detected early enough, by genetic engineering. Samara says it's incurable after it manifests at puberty. Also, Thane said the hanar were working on a cure for Kepral's, so that's possible to cure as well in the near future. Miranda's infertility - that was bad writing right from the start.
I get the feeling the death of Shepard in ME2 was just considered a cool hook without thought about the proper implications. But it gave us Miranda, so we'll call it quits...
I have no problem with claiming that death isn't what it used to be in the post-Disaster era. Especially if you avoid the Destroy scenario. It's already present as a theme, and after all an organism is just information in the end. As long as someone has a DNA sample of Shepard, a record of his synthetic enhancements and as long as the data that make up his mind still exist, it's possible to reconstruct him. It's a new world - as Miranda says, everything will change. Whole SF worlds have been built around the concept that death isn't what it used to be. I guess it would still be rare in any post-Disaster scenario created by Bioware, but only because they like don't want such a world, not for any plausibility reason.
