I guess that would depend on how you define "corpse". If you mean someone whose heart stopped beating a minute ago, then the answer is "sometimes".
Any longer than a few minutes without oxygen, the brain becomes unusable, so for most corpses, the answer is a resounding "no".

if you count a corpse as one who has stopped breathing and whose heart has stopped beating. But only for a very short time period. Also, did you hear about that new technique for organ transport? They can take out the heart and stick it in a tub of the donor's blood (which they pump around and add sugars, oxyegn etc) and it will start to get better even if it had stopped. They can revive a heart that's been kept really cold up to four hours after it has been removed from the body.
If the brain stem is dead then no, science can't resurrect a corpse. If you want to "resurrect" a body take up Live Action Role Play a.k.a LARP, then u can revive all the dead bodies you want.

Anyone been to the emergency department lately? yepp, doctors and nurses "resurrect" "corpses" all the time. Everytime that they perform a CPR on a patient with a heart attack, they are re-starting a stopped heart, which you can call resurrection if you wish. Every time that they put a patient on a respirator, if this patient had stopped breathing on his/her own, they are in effect "resurrecting" him. Ok, for these efforts to work, the brain must still be alive, and the brain dies after 3 mere minutes without oxygen.

Science can electrically stimulate body parts, but it can't breathe a soul back into a body or make a corpse sit up and think again. It would be pretty messed up if our science DID have the ability to do that.

Personally I believe that will never happen because the brain dies.
Which means that it is junk. The cells are junk, useless. The only way is to "save" the person before that happens. Once the brain stem stops functioning the body can not control the lungs or heart and therefore one is dead. Shortly, every shortly, the brain cells die as does all the other life giving cells. And they can not be brought back anymore then a dead tree or plant. Dead is dead.

great question, on which unfortuantelly i don't have answer, though considering the fact that no one had been resurected yet, by scientists or doctors it can be concluded that science is week. Though i'm sure that spiritual leaders can do it. Buddhists for example as well as Christ even nowadays can walk over water, so most probably as much as Christ could they can resurect the dead, but i guess they simply don't have nay need to do it as reinarnation is already resurection for them.

Where do people GET these ideas??? no. not "resurrect". you can restart the heart sometimes, but even that is something like a 7% chance (which you would never know by the way it is portrayed on TV shows)

If a corpse is a dead body and a body is dead if not breathing and no heart beat is present, then CPR will resurect a corpse.

The answer is yes via cloning.You can get a piece of Dna out of the course and replicate an exact copy of it

nope.... only in books and movies.
although you can make individual muscles move by electrically stimulating them (I've seen this in college biology class - we made dead frogs kick.... creepy)
