Overcoming death with magic

The question of resurrecting the dead and immortality was discussed by Humans for a very long time and is nowhere near the end. People are divided into groups. One which says that magic is a gift and humanity should use it to overcome all obstacles put by nature, including death and the other which says that death is part of the natural order of things and should not be messed with. Currently, one of the biggest arguments against resurrection is that most resurrection spells are blood magic, which is illegal under the Blood Magic Ban and Magical Security Act of 1970.
