People are coming back to life after they were killed in the building?
This isn't..possible at all. Are the scientists using cloning to replace the people who died?

If they can raise the dead, what else can these scientists do?

Evidently, a number of things, although I'd hazard a guess and say that bringing back the dead is perhaps near the top of the list, as would, I imagine, their apparent ability to ignore time.

Attempts to play God don't impress me, I must admit.

They're basically an empire that enslaved my planet.
Not to mention what we could do if we were able to..bring people back. ..Like my Dad.

If you could bring people back? I must admit, that is one desire I have never understood.

I have. That doesn't mean I'd want for them to live again; they deserve to rest in peace, to be in a better place. Them living for my own wants, to relieve my suffering is not something I can [...] sympathise with. The relief of their suffering should come before my own.

No one knows if it's a better place, or not.
I'm not being selfish, either. No one really wants to die, and what if the person wasn't suffering beforehand? What about children that were killed?
What if..their work wasn't finished, here?

'No one wants to die'? Some people do.
As for unjust deaths... Unfortunately, for as long as there are people, there will be those deaths. It might not be fair, but that is life. It's sorrowful and ultimately, the only person death hurts is the person, or people, left behind.
I can see no good in bringing the dead back to life. Is it truly fair to them to experience death and then bring them back with the knowledge of that death?
Then, of course, without death, what point is there in living? Life and death are forever intertwined and whilst both will never carry the definition of fairness, one cannot be complete without the other.

What if someone can be brought back to tell the name of their murderer? What if a mother or a father can be brought back to raise their family? Don't you think that those sort of people would be happy to be alive again? Is it fair? I think it's a lot fairer to all of them, for the dead, too.
I agree there might be problems with it, though. Death is important, it controls population among other things.

If I'm quite honest, if I were brought back from the dead with the sole intention to tell the name of my murderer, I would be far from impressed. Amongst other things, it would mean an ineffective police force.
That aside: with your examples, you must keep in mind this; unless you are willing to bring back all that die, it would be a form of judgement. 'This person deserves death', 'this person deserves life'.
Who are we to say who is deserving of life and death? Each person, be they a saint or a sinner, has people that care about them. For example, a man who kills another will be seen as a murderer by one set of people, to another group of people, the killing could be viewed as justified: who is right? When he dies, he still bears the label of a 'murderer', but even a murderer may be a father.
Does the murderer deserve to be brought back from the dead to raise his children? Are the imperfect and flawed really worthy of passing the judgement of life versus death?

I..know, and that's the problem. I'm not an idiot, and I know the whole judging who should live and who should die would be extremely complicated if not impossible.
..I think it's best if we just agree to disagree. I don't want to argue with anyone here, when we should be working together to find a way out.
