I think an easy way to deal with this is, if you strongly suspect you will be resurrecting, don't be a donor, or specify that only organs you don't need to live can be donated, just in case.

Donate appendix?

I never heard of an appendix transplant, what do they use it for? :)

No idea, I just found the idea of donating non-vital organs funny for that reason. Like, why even go through the bother? Something like eyes ok, that's non vital, but generally the idea of donating a non-vital organ is ridiculously frivolous. I like it  :lulz:

I agree with Cain on this.  "Donnating" doesn't exactly imply a return clause, so I think any doctor responsible for such a situation should have to furnish the repalcements to make the wrongly donated folks "Whole", as it were.


Actually I just pointed out if you came back to life missing several organs, you'd probably only live a few hours at best.

That was the part I was agreeing with.  I also think that there should be a clause that Benny Hill music must be played when the offending Doctor finds out he's fucked.

when I was thinking nonessential organs I was more thinking 1 kidney, 1 eye, part of a liver... perhaps some blood vessels or  :?
but it's funnier your way.

Also, damn it, you don't need that gall bladder!  :argh!:

I guess you must really like being fat and unable to process lipids then.

what, are you expecting to process lipids and store bile while resurrected? i doubt you'll need to eat. besides, what if you get cremated, or they make your grave face the wrong direction? those things can have terrible effects on potential resurrection.

I think they use that for extra supporting tissues that are important, but they take up too much room to be in the main body, but they're there when you need to use them.

Do you know how much fat a human body in America contains? Of course I'll need to process lipids when I return. I'm going to have to go through a lot of adipose tissue in my food before I get to the good stuff! No cremation, per my specific request. I'll also be put in a glass chamber standing up so I won't have to go through the trouble of pulling myself up.

how are you doing to get them to preserve your body? pretty much all the chemicals they use would kill things if they weren't already dead, making your tissues unfit for life... additionally, if you went for the vacuum pack preservation method in your glass chamber, how would you breathe when resurrected? if you don't need to breath, why would you need to eat?

So many things to work out before you can assure us that you'll need your gall bladder later!  :D
