I'm going to guess this depends on the method of death. Maybe if you died by heart attack it may be easier than if you were squashed by a train or something.
we can't live forever. And while I'm not rushing my demise, I am not anxious about it. I mean if you foster any beliefs of an afterlife at all, then you must look forward to what happens once you leave this life.
They have to be able to repair the damage that killed the person in the first place. If someone gets shot in the chest and bleeds out, they may be able to sew everything up, refill him with blood, and start him back up. If someone is shot in the head, and his brain was reduced to mush, not so much.

If your brain has been without oxygen for hours and hours, you are NOT going to wake up the same person, you are going to come back brain-damaged and possibly a vegetable, so not sure how they would get around that. I can just see insurance companies fighting paying for the care you would need then, and also the lawsuits that would arise as families sued their Docs for the intensive care the revived person now needs.
And if you died of cancer - you get resurrected with your organs ravaged by virus, such that you have to spend the rest of your agonizing life on machines, unable to move, or breathe on your own, speak, or eat food, be in pain to the point where you have to be constantly sedated and unconscious? Why would anyone want that? Why would anyone want that for humanity, to even research such an "option?" It sounds more like something someone would do if they wanted a race of people to commit genocidal suicide. Threaten to kill them, then reanimate their corpses, if they don't kill themselves first.
