Hershal's belief

Ive had to mark this thread as a spoiler, but its about something from a really early season, so everybody should have seen it.

When Rick and co settle with living on Hershals farm land, they discover that Hershal is keeping the entire towns community as turned walkers in his barn.....why?, because he believed that a cure might be created to turn walkers back into sentient human beings.

Now, going by the narrative that the series have, everything we learnt medically and scientifically about walkers, Hershals belief is a flawed one and one that would not be possible.

Maybe it might have been possible to create a serum and inject it into a walker, where eventually it would have changed everything going in in their brain and made them a sentient human being again, like what Will Smith tried to create in I Am Legend, to turn vampiric monsters back into sentient human beings. But the problem is, mentally and psychologically they might have returned back to being a human being, but physically is where the problem lies.

In the rest of their body, a walker is nothing but dead rotting organic matter. A heart thats dead rotting and useless, lungs that are dead rotting and useless, a liver thats dead rotting and useless, a pancreas thats dead rotting and useless, kidneys that are dead rotting and useless. Where is Hershal gonna get all them so that the human being can live in their own body again?. Humans need more than a brain to live. If he used it on someone that had just turned into a walker, maybe feasible.
