If somebody is somehow able to bring you back to life after you die, would you consider that a meaningful life?

If a person lived through a normal course of a life for 80 years and died, but for whatever reason, they were able to bring life back into the person's body, would it not necessarily be confined to just a lifeless vessel for the person to inhabit? They would not be able to return to the relationships that they had in their former life because everybody they knew would have died. And it would be impossible to form new relationships because society would have changed so much that everything that you are accustomed to would have disappeared. <br><br>My question is, would that person ever be able to live a life outside of just a prison that they inhabit? Would they ever be able to experience anything life has to offer again? And if they are unable to, is the life that they are leading even a life worth living?<br><br>I have thought about this for a while and I'm still unsure of how to approach it. I'm hoping that there might be someone on here who might be able to offer some insight on the topic.
