brain can survive without oxygen

You won't believe what happened at Yale University! Professor Stephen Latham and his team did something incredible – they started reprogramming the brains of pigs that had died. This amazing discovery forces us to think about what happens when someone dies. This suggests that the brain can survive for a long time without oxygen.
You know CPR, right? Well, this has changed the way we think about heart failure. Now scientists are studying how to revive a person's brain even after his death. Professor Latham believes that it may take much longer than that for the brain to die completely and perhaps we can even change some of the brain's functions. This big discovery is challenging our knowledge about death. This might perhaps change our whole idea that “death is the end of everything”.
