Respawning in PS2 lore?

[Carrionghoul]

According to the PS2 Lore Wiki the TR never banned rebirthings use. They did, however, order their scientists to keep its existence secret from the general population. This is one of the reasons that the scientists formed the Vanu Sovereignty and rebelled against the TR. Once the war broke out, all three sides were forced into using rebirthing technology, or they would fall behind in numbers and lose the war.
