7. Nope, that is as dead as a mind can get

The body may still be functioning. But her mind, the person inside, is dead and gone. Even if we were able to reconstitute the brain through cloning technology or some other technique it would not be her inside there. All the experiences and memories that define her are irrevocably gone. It would be the quivalent of giving someone a brain transplant. Sure it keeps the body alive but its not the same person walking around in it.
