   The same as regular CPR. If you break the bulb you're doing something wrong.

   Dissolve the glue that keeps the metal part of the lightbulb on, replace the filament, replace the air inside of the bulb with argon and glue the metal part back on.

   Why can't we replace parts on dead humans to get them working again?

   potentially we can, depends on how you define 'working' in this case though

   Like aldra said, we usually can. Except when it comes to your brain, there is only one brain quite like yours in the entire Universe.

   The equivelant to fixing a dead lightbulb. I want to die, get fixed, and start up with a fresh set of batteries so to speak, unnoticeable to others that I had ever died in the first place.

   What are you guys talking about? Am I waaay out of the loop? You can replace parts on a dead person and bring them back to life?

   I was thinking of prosthetics and pacemakers and stuff but they won't generally bring you back, just stop you from dying when you otherwise would
   
   though, you could use servos and pulleys embedded in a dead body to 'bring them back', but even though it'd be pretty funny the robocorpse wouldn't really have much in common with the person that died
   The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

    The body is weird. I want to know why we can't replace parts on it like electronics. I mean after its dead.

    potentially we could, except for the brain. it's kind of like trying to fix a robot after the processor gets mashed; it might be in working order but it's not going to do much without control.
    
    
    do you think that the brain is just a biochemical computer, or do you think there's more to consciousness, like there's a soul or something that lives within it?

    Fuck if I know. I've never seen a soul so I don't really believe in them. I just want to see brain transplants and the like. Is that so much to ask?? Jesusbfuck we landed on the moon we can't swap out a coupla brains?

    If you swapped brains with me, are you still really you?

    I think of my brain as me. Wherever it goes, is me.

    Same, and i think that's the problem with brain transplants.

    In conclusion, we are not like lightbulbs.

    The analogy was still good though.

    Apoptosis, mainly, IIRC. Usually the neurons and all the other stuff die from a lack of oxygen. Of course traumatic injuries, like blunt force trauma, or a gunshot, can just be due to the sheer destruction.
    
    Pretty similar to any other part of your body dying, in a way.
