The answer is absolutely not.
You cannot reconstruct something from nothing. Accurate information cannot be created out of nothing. No amount of technology can ever change that.
It's impossible, it's badly written, it's a poorly used plot device. And that is the only truth about it.
That's the thing....They are not reconstructing from nothing. Your forget concepts of preservation, flash freezing, cryogenics and frozen fossils..... If you stop cellular decay, the brain cells do not decompose and can be restored. If the brain cells did decompose, then their is know way to do it.
The brain is dead. Shep wasn't cryogenicly frozen. He smashed from space into the ground, cracking him open and exposing him for a month to a methane atmospehre on a hostile planet.
You cannot reconstruct a human from a dead brain.
And no, you cannot reconstruct the brain even if it's frozen.
No, he fell on the dark side of the planet and smashed into harden unpressuied carbon....That's graphite, if you have a penicl near you you see how soft it is. .He got buried in it. The heat from the fall melted the ice in the area and turned it to water. The freezing of the ice flashed froze his body do to being in the coldest side of the planet.
It would help if you looked up the planet your taking about....
http://masseffect.wi...om/wiki/Alchera[/b]Alchera[/b]'s crust is composed of
carbon
and water ice. While low density, its large size allows it to retain a
thick atmosphere of methane and ammonia. It is believed that if Alchera
had acquired a bit more mass when the
Amada star system formed, it would have formed the core of a second
outer-system gas giant. Alchera has three moons: Uluru, Wandjina, and
Baiame.

Also, look up flash freezing and dry ice...
Flash freezing (or
blast freezing) refers to the process in various industries whereby objects are quickly frozen by subjecting them to
cryogenic temperatures.
For example, flash freezing is used in the food industry to quickly freeze perishable food items (see
frozen food). In this case, food items are subjected to temperatures well below water's
melting/freezing point (32°F or 0°C), causing the water inside the foods to freeze in a very
short period of time without forming large crystals, thus avoiding
damage to
cell membranes.
Flash freezing techniques are also used to freeze biological samples
fast enough that large ice crystals cannot form and damage the sample.
[1] This rapid freezing is done by submerging the sample in
liquid nitrogen or a mixture of
dry ice and ethanol.
[2]A
supercooled liquid will stay in a liquid state below the normal freezing point when it has little opportunity for
nucleation; that is, if it is pure enough and has a smooth enough container. Once agitated it will rapidly become a solid.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_iceDry ice is the solid form of
carbon dioxide (
chemical formula CO2), comprising two
oxygen atoms bonded to a single
carbon atom. It is colorless, odorless, non-flammable, and slightly acidic.
[1]At temperatures below −56.4 °C (−69.5 °F) and pressures below 5.13 atm (the
triple point), CO2 changes from a solid to a gas with no intervening liquid form, through a process called
sublimation. The opposite process is called
deposition, where CO2 changes from the
gas to
solid phase (dry ice). At atmospheric pressure, sublimation/deposition occurs at −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F).

My point being is the planet Shepard landed on has all the conditions for flash freezing. The ground is graphite, which is soft enough to easilly be buried in.
Also, the armor Shepard had on if you look at them now, was cut off. Most like they by the mercs who found him to comferm his body.
