admin note: Whether or not you can jump start a frog will depend on a lot of things- particulary how you dispatch it. If you whack it on the head or overdose it with barbituates, I can't see how shocking it will bring it back to life. It's possible that you could defibrillate it with the large voltage produced by a tesla coil, if it's heart wasn't beating, but that is by no means certain. If an animal is dead, that is all of its organs are no longer functioning, or if its cells are dead, shocking it won't bring it back to life.
