It’s pretty frickin’ impossible to resurrect someone wrongly put to death by a justice system that has repeatedly been shown to get capital cases wrong. See Innocence Project. Heck, two men were just exonerated after being wrongly convicted of murder decades ago based on DNA evidence.

18 of the 317 people exonerated through DNA served time on death row. Another 16 were charged with capital crimes but not sentenced to death. The true suspects and/or perpetrators have been identified in 154 of the DNA exoneration cases.
