That is interesting but it could be that some people being alive longer would make the world better, or inspire even more people, now this can also work the other way a around, which is why I can sorta agree with you.Boudica said:
Example, Kurt Cobain being dead was probably a good thing for his legacy and inspired loads of people, bands like the Foo Fighters would probably not exist. He made his mark on music and whatever he would've done later would have diminished that as just one of the many. Now take Aaliyah for instance, up and coming R&B artist, died as well, before her prime, might have changed her genre, in this case probably better if she survived .... this is all a hypothetical theory (what?) and as a disclaimer, I am infact not god or any other deity, nor arrogant enough to think my opinion is fact in this matter.
Also, butterfly effect of people dying/being alive etc, who knows !
Michael Jackson, because I?d always been a big fan of his. It?s a shame that he died so young, and before he even got the chance to do his gig in London.
Heath Ledger, because I?m curious about how The Dark Knight Rises would?ve turned out if his Joker had returned.

Listening to Heaven and Hell right now actually. This being the first answer made me happy to see people still love real music.burningdragoon said:
My list would probably be:
Dio, The Beatles (Dead ones anyway. Can I kill Ono in the process?) and The Founding Fathers of the USA (So they could see what has happened to their dream.)
Tony Jay, because the world of voice acting has gotten that much worse with his passing.
I mean, listen to DAT VOICE
On a similar note, Mako, for the same reasons
Alternatively, George Carlin, because he was quite insightful in his comedy.

Hmm maybe John Belushi I guess, he died young was funny though I guess if he was brought back somehow he would just kill himself off again given his life style.
Weird I pick a person who if given a second life would likely have it as short as the first time around.
Beyond him no one really pops into my head I just go by the fact that people die and try to remember them so they kind of live on.

Everyone has to meet their end, so I'm not sure I'd want to wrench anyone back from the dead just to make people happy. That said, I'd pick my dad.
But if I had to choose someone not from my family, I'd choose George Carlin - I would have loved to have a talk with that guy.

I wonder how he'd feel about modern medicine; you get mistreatment for the elderly and some medical staff don't even care. Not to mention the US' abysmal medical system.WoW Killer said:For a pioneer who never saw their dream reach its conclusion, how about Edward Jenner? Smallpox was eventually eradicated in 1979, 200 years after Jenner's vaccine, and remains the only human infectious disease to have been made extinct from the wild. He's probably saved a billion lives or more by now.
Though I do miss Hitchens too
I think death was right for Cash. He seemed really unhappy since his wife died. Not denying that he was one of the musicians that made real music about what he felt, but I think that towards the end he was just waiting to die.Binnsyboy said:
"Hurt" still gets me to this day.
On that note: if Hippocrates were alive today, what would he think of his oath, and would he amend it?nathan-dts said:

Still, the circumstances of his rebirth aren't specified.
