I saw on the news today that a two week old baby came back from the dead after half an hour! does anyone think that this could really be true?

it is true, but you have to appreciate that newborns breathing is so spadoric and shallower than adults that it was most likely a mistake. It's not going to be a common occurance.

Well if its on the TV it must be true, right?
It is probably true. With todays medicine, a heart can stop yet the body and brain can still be oxygenated thru artificial means. Hopefully this is the case for this baby. If not, there is a good chance of brain damage or damage to other organs.

Yes.
I have read and seen on tv several reports and documentarys on people who were confirmed dead, and then later for some reason were revived. Also, animals that died, and then later on were also revived.
One, was an elderly man who, if I remember right, had a heartattack and was declared dead by EMT's. around 72 hours later at the funeral home, he woke up while they were dressing the body. Noone could figure out the reason why.

There have been many strange cases of people coming back from the dead and living normal lives after extended periods of time.
My personal favorite is the person who came back to life on the embalming table just before he was to be embalmed. Be that was a nasty feeling.

I don't know about this story but I do know that, under certain circumstances, the heart apparently stops (when, for example, in frozen waters) and the supposedly dead person (in this case, a youngster) was resuscitated after a considerable number of hours). Strange but true!

Impossible! people cant come back from the dead. The baby wasn't dead it was just half way there but the heart wasn't totally done functioning.

This can be very true. Plus I doubt the news would lie about something like this.
In the emergency room their is something they do that revitalizes you. Ive heard stories about this more than once. You can be dead then get revitalized.
Plus, if God knows its not your time then your not going to leave. Its a gift from God for this precious baby to be revitalized and live. I think its amazing!!

technically you can "come back from the dead" after any period of time, however the results can vary. It is quite possible to restart the organs of anybody, however whether they will enjoy any form of life is the real question.Most peoples life support machines are turned off not because life cannot be sustained but because life is not a realistic option.

There are documented instances of people being declared dead and coming back even after an hour and already in the morgue.

Yes I've heard stories about that happening. Unfortunately the lack of oxygen to the brain would more than likely cause brain damage (I believe the damage starts after about six minutes).
