Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, we truly need him nowadays ...

He would be the top leader in the Middle East right now, not that there's exactly a contest going on for talent or anything. Perhaps he would do something about barbarians running roughshod through the countryside...

Einstein, Galileo and DaVinci.
They would catch up quickly and we desperately need minds like those.

For what ? Einstein didn't understand quantum mechanics when he was alive, I doubt Da Vinci could even understand how to turn a TV on.

I think you are mistaking knowledge and intelligence. These people would quickly acquire the knowledge they missed, then move on.
You on the other hand... keep turning on that TV. Good boy.

And I think you underestimate the importance of knowledge, it takes a lot of time even for a great genius to master maths. They would be like children. Also Einstein had a chance to find the answer to the string theory and he failed, why would it be different today?

I'd sell it to the highest bidder in a blind auction

I'm not sure I'd choose to resurrect anyone. Most of the people who I would feel deserve a second chance at life died in such terrible ways I'm not sure they'd necessarily appreciate the "favor", and besides, I don't feel comfortable with that amount of power.

Robin williams, if it would also cure the ailments that caused him to take his own life...
Otherwise I would pick billy mays.

I would wait until my mom dies and if she does before she meets her grandchildren (that would be in a very long time from now) then I would resurrect her. If she dies after that then I would save that in case anybody else really close to me dies and I still want them here because I'm that selfish.

You haven't ever met your mother but you know she's alive?
Comment has been collapsed.
Where did you got that I haven't met her? o.O I live with her.... and I have done so my whole life....
And even if that was the case, there are people that haven't met their mother but know who she is or that she's alive somewhere (because someone else told them).

He may be asking that because the thread clearly specified not closed relatives.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oooh, sorry, I guess I didn't see that (I did the rest of the thread tho', weird)
Then... maybe Tesla

Exactly as MaxThunder said, it was in the headpost: no relatives or other people you know personally, because it's the obvious answer.
Yeah, there are such people, but it sounds really strange when they want to resurrect their mother instead of, you know, meeting her in person while she's still alive.

Yep, this talk about letting go of emotional attachments isn't working.

Robert Jordan. So he can finish his frickin' series on his own.

TheBeastDam: you might want to mention in your post to not include blatant plot spoilers as it's against site guidelines.
- Use spoiler tags appropriately, and when referring to potential spoilers in games or other media released in recent years.

I haven't seen any spoiler in any post so far and I don't see any reason someone would spoil anything by answering this question. I don't mind editing the topic, I just want to understand the way someone could spoil anything.

Stalin has fought (and won) enough of his own battles, it is unfair to ask him to win our fight for us.

Just be sure to keep an eye on him and don't let him roam alone (especially if you live in a city with alot of different cultures), it could get awkward

I don't think the person I'd resurrect would be appreciated by others so, well I guess I'll keep my answer for myself.

H.G. Wells.
I'd like to see what one of the first hard sci-fi authors would come up with, once they've adjusted to our age.
Also keep in mind that most of the concepts behind his classic works are still relevant today.

I would resurrect Hitler, I would kill him then I would resurrect him again until I got bored killing him.
Why not ? You said only 1 person, not only 1 time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hitler of course! So he would start new war, all people kill each other and then cats would inherit the world!

micheal jackson and make him my dancing slave and take him to school

If you'd been given the power to resurrect 1 person, whom you haven't ever met (meaning not close relatives), who would you choose and why?
Some may answer Einstein or other great minds of the past, but bear in mind that these minds will "wake up" in an entirely different world from what they are used to.
Personaly I would resurrect Tolkien to continue his work of Middle-Earth (although he might decide to destroy it after seeing the movies, it's a risk :D).
I am curious to see weird and unexpected answers.
Edit: Pls don't spoil any content of any movie or book.
