Ok so I had this thought which is causing me distress now.

If I died and had my organs donated, and I came back to life; am I legally entitled to have my organs back?

You'd think they have a policy for this but they don't ...
In Soviet Russia, sins died for Jesus.

Cain

I'm pretty sure if you came back to life after your organs were removed, it would only be a very temporary state of affairs.

Lies

If you died and came back to life, you'd either be hailed as the messiah or you'd be a zombie and have your head blasted off with a 12 gauge.
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

Well if I were a zombie I would like to be aware of my legal options

Zombies are accepted only in a few countries and most of them are Haiti.

I'd say, no. The other person(s) who has one of them now probably needs it to be alive, while you somehow manage to be miraculously alive without them.

Unless it's your eyes, that'd suck. You'd probably want those back then.

But I think you'd be out of luck, if you're a donor, your registration signs away the right to your organs after your death. I think if you want them back in the event of resurrection, you'd need an additional clause in your donor registration.

I would most definitely like to see that clause, and the look on the lawyer's face when he adds 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.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

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.

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