Can robots & DNA help resurrect the dead from ages ago back to the living?

[L7. D4N]

This individual has the cremated ashes of their deceased loved ones (they passed in 1980) but now 45 years into the present where the technology exists, it's too late due to them being nothing but bone dust contained in a urn since their bodies are no longer fresh, how can you extract a memory from their brain when that dissipated back then due to the passage of time?

Even if you asked a miracle to turn their ashes back into their human form (healed from their ailments), I'm saying this to those who praise technology so much wanting it to advance fail to make this type of "resurrection" possible (not a digital clone or duplicate) a real person coming back where you can feel, touch and speak to them: actual flesh and bone, not a hologram.

I'm talking about converting dead person's ashes back to a HUMAN from a click of a finger, using the current resources available now. The "paranormal" alternative is to communicate using a Ouija board but the chances of encountering them are slim since there's a higher chance of coming across a demon who may mimic somebody you know who has died.

Despite this being deemed impossible or nonsense by most, that does not mean it may not be but the time isn't right as of now until technology is able to be super advanced or it having magical like abilities to exchange ash to flesh bringing back people from centuries ago who have deceased, from historical figures and so on. You get to meet your great grandparents...

I've seen enough anime to know this isn't going to end well.

it doesn't matter if you can bring someone back from their dna. Everything that person was, was the memories in their brain. And that is not getting revived from the dna.

You could revive washington from his ashes and he wouldn't even know what a king was.

People have been cloning animals for years now, and sheep 32 clone doesn't have the memories from the first 31 sheep.

If we do not touch upon ethical issues, it will only be a genetic copy, something like taking a cutting from a parent plant and planting it in the ground to grow a new one from it.

No, because even if you had a copy of that person's memories it still wouldn't be them. Or at the very least, they could come to that conclusion if given that person's memories. Should it be a clone though that's allowed to grow up on their own, then we already have empirical data on how even pets that wind up being cloned in one way or another have a different personality from the pet in which their genestock was sourced.

And that is because while behavior is in part genetic, memories aren't. Sure, epigenetic memory is a thing but that doesn't pertain to memories. It's a different kind of memory in the same vein as rote memory. But you're not going to remember your great-grandma Suzie and how she and your great-grandpa surprised his family by announcing their marriage at his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ funeral. Because that's not something you would be capable of remembering through your genetics.

And yes, that is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Jojo reference.
