Who legally owns the body parts!!!

[NotPublished]

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 ...

[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.

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

[Nawaxo]

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! 

[Triple Zero]

You should DEMAND it, on religious grounds!

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I will, dammit!

Except I'm not an organ donor anyway....

[Richter]

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.

[Akara]

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.

Donate appendix?

[Akara]

Gall bladder stays!
