Current Events > Scenario: You have the ability to bring people back to life.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just as it sounds like. You have the ability to bring a person back to life, with their body being rejuvenated in the process (including the full healing of wounds).

However, it has a few caveats:

1. It only works for up to a week after the person died; beyond that, their soul has been processed in the afterlife and is thus unable to return to the living world.

2. A person can only be revived once; if they die again, then it's permanent.

3. It only works on those who died of unnatural causes (murder, suicide, accidental, etc.). Diseases count as a natural cause, even those inflicted by another person.

4. The person does not have any memories of their time in the afterlife, so such philosophical questions cannot be posed to them.

5. If it needs to be said, you can't use it on yourself.

What would you do with this ability? Would you monetize it? Would you offer your services out of the kindness of your heart for grieving parties? Would you even use it at all?

Become a surgeon and secretly use the power on patients whenever I fuck up

I'd be the only surgeon in history with a 100% survival rate.

It would help your odds, sure. But it wouldnt be 100%. Most surgeries are removal of some type of deformed tissue.

Id do nothing with it. Stay dead ya fucks.

Some crime boss would hunt you down for "encouraged employment" so you could reanimate kamikaze assassins.

I don't get it-- so only those who died in the past week can be revived?

if so:

I would probably become a very demented person, as I'd just torture and re-kill criminals that managed to die.

What if theyre already buried within the week? Will my spell revive them only for them to immediately suffocate?

I'd bring elvis back to life. He recently died rip

Yes. It's basically up to the family to determine if they want to seek your services within that week. If they buried them already, then it's clear that they just want to let them go.

Seems promising, but once money comes into the mix, I'd become the cliche good guy who became greedy and has more money than he can spend.
