I'd argue that we can't do a resurrection because that's really complex, not because we don't know how.

I'll also point out that there are people alive today who were declared medically dead that live normal lives because we made their heart beat again.

Yes, and those are rare cases and so far apart from "corrolates with time" it is hard to impossible to know for sure when someone is outside that window.

I was also under the illusion that we'd done a lot of experiments trying to reelecrifiy frogs' brains we have failed to get anywhere beyond muscle spasms off of the data and measurements we've been able to make.
