Is it an attempt to get "Big Pharmaceuticals" to fund much larger studies, which could be "themed" more towards saving patient's brains, returning them to life, whilst at the same time trying to get the crucial evidence to answer the metaphysical side of the question ?

Thanks Tim.

It is always a tightrope he is walking, the studies have to be approved by a medical ethics committee and in some manner have to be phrased in terms of helping the patients (and rightly so of course). It can't be pure research just for the sake of it as some types of science investigation might have been in the past.

In a recent radio programme I was listening to, it was pointed out that historically scientific research was often done by wealthy members of the aristocracy who in between (or perhaps instead of) all the grand dinners and parties, would retreat to their own personal laboratory and carry out whatever experiments they liked. Nowadays it does have to be funded somehow as you point out.
