Bringing back the dead Pet Sematary style

[lovely1]

If you had a choice to bring back a loved one who has died would you? I would personally not do it because of all the consequences involved and of course the smell.

[GNTLGNT]

No, I would grieve and grieve hard-but as it's been said "dead is dead"...let them enter the clearing without interference, and be at rest...(and yeah, there ain't enough Febreze in the woild)...

I would have to say that it wold be a little hard for the same fact. although I would also have to say tht I couldn't condem a loved one to the after efects of sutch thing cause as you know they come back the opposet of the way they were. but I will say that I have viseted with my grandfather twice since his passing and he sent me back both tmes obviesly. so for someone to love me hat much to send me back then I would have to regard the others in the same way. Live long, lough har and die happy.

i dont know if i wuld bring a loved one back. not like the way they displayed it in the movie\book. not that i wouldnt want them back, its just, if they did come back like in the movie. then i would have agreed with what Jud Crandall(fred gwynne) said in the movie,"sometimes death is better". and i also realized something this morning,when i watched both pet semataries 1 and two, that quote that jud had said in the first movie, renee hallow, jeffs mom, near the end of the movie, when theyre in the attic in the fire, she said the same thing that jud had said, "sometimes death is better"! weird!!! and i do believe that quote strongly!

I would bring back my dog Pedro. He was mean before he croaked, so a reanimated version of him probably wouldn't be much different.

[Horrorchick]

No if I saw my dogs brought back like that I would just break down. I would rather them be dead then have to go through the pain of living again. I love them with all my heart even if thier dead,but I know it wouldn't be the same.

I wonder if Steve thought of that when he wrote the novel. Did it cross his mind at all? Only one human being did that in the past, and he was called Jesus. Remember Lazarus? Even if I had this possibility myself, I wouldn't do it. In that line of thoughts, I wonder how Lazarus died again, and if he was even happy to be back. People who experienced neardeath can tell us that being dead is not that bad I guess. But no way I would bring back loved ones or beloved animals and see them the way they are painted in Steve's novel. Just thinking about the smell makes me nauseaus.

[Jojo87]

No I don't want any of my loved back. I've lost many loved animals. Two years ago when my little puppy Cindy died. (She ran under a car) I thougt maybe she's not hurt so bad. Maybe the vet can save her. But nope. It was nothing to do. And I don't want to see them after their dead.

[king family fan]

I would say no.But I guess really I wouldn't know unless it happened and I had that choice. As sometimes greiving is the hardest thing to face. Loosing a loved one can change a person.

[CaptainClaudius]

While I don't mean to sound completely cynical, I don't think that I would to resurrect a loved one or even as a pet as the time that I had with them, in their normal state, is what made it worthwhile. To live and ultimately suffer with a copy or a less desirable version just does not carry enough sway to change my opinion.

I think another interesting question is: if you lost someone, but knew that you could be with them again in the afterlife and you had a choice to go on living or pass over, which would you choose?
