Most likely, no. However, science is unpredictable! You never know...!

It is a possibility, but not a very likely one! In real life no one has ever demonstrated an ability to reanimate the dead, so there is no scientific reason to think there will ever be Zombies.

There are already zombie-like parasites and viruses that infect insects. This combined with the fact that wood frogs freeze themselves completely in the winter months and reanimate spontaneously afterwards leads to the potential of science fully taking hold of cryogenics and bringing people who have been dead for years back from the grave. These could be considered as zombies, but not the traditional Horror zombies, so in that sense there will never be zombies.

To correct something said above... Once upon a time, not too many years ago, death was defined by the stoppage of the heart. If your heart stopped, that was it. Now we routinely defibrillate, and use adrenalin, or heart massage, to restart hearts. By that standard, "zombies" already exist!

Now death is defined as brain death. Maybe someday we will learn to restart brains as well, and need a new definition of "dead".
