Dead people are brought back to life who would have otherwise perished indefinitely, presuming the form of the mind is still in a condition for this set of actions to occur.
The soul is a delusion of essentialism - that there is a "self" before existence the way there is a "rabbit" before evolution; We merely have a classification of form that entails small mammalian long-eared nose-wrinkling organisms. Each and every 'rabbit' is in constant flux of each other individual, there is no true rabbit.
Natural selection is the origami of nature, the self is a product of nature's origami.
What does that have to do with death though? once the body dies it dies forever there is no coming back if the body was merely a function similar to how a machine would function then it could be brought back to life similar to how a machine is brought back to life. My question is what is it within the body that dies when it dies?
That's like asking where a wrinkle goes when you iron it out.
Also, you're giving technology wayyyyy too much credit.
If we were to create a machine that was as sophisticated as a human what makes that machine different than a human being what separates us other than function?
If there is no such existence as a soul or a spirit then why can't dead people be brought back to life? similar to how a machine gets brought back to life when changing a broken part or material? thoughts?
How would you propose bringing a dead person back to life?
When we finally create a machine as sophisiticated as the human body then it will answer itself. For its possible that the interrelationship between billions of living cells creates a symbiosis where each cells communication with the other creates a sentience that wouldn't otherwise we there. And perhaps it's the loss of that collective consciousness (the ability of the cells to communicate with each other) that causes the animation to disappear and ultimately for the cells themselves to individually die. In much the same way a fungus body is actually a colony of millions of micelia rather than a single organism.

As soon as a person dies, the body begins breaking down. A broken down car can have a part replaced because that part is going to remain essentially the same. But organs decay and decompose, starting almost immediately. Even if there is no soul, you can't bring a dead person back for the same reason you can't fix a rotten peach.
Break an egg, leave it out for a day and try to get it back together again. If you can't, it doesn't mean that it has a soul. We're very complicated eggs.
Wow. Both of us with the eggs.

Yeah... actually the egg is sometimes used to symbolize the soul.
