I would like to see the notes on that one
especially the declared dead bit and by whom
shades of the "are they really dead" prog of the eighties which caused a lot of trouble - the fella there was made to publicly recant " I said they were dead and they were not"
[one over heard a tech say - "yeah shes a gonna" as they were loaded into the ambulance which is a funny way to do brain stem tests]

Very funny, TTT. Donor's are kept alive as long as possible before the transplant - from the link "They agreed for his organs to be donated to help seven other people, but this appears to have bought Lewis crucial extra time on life support. Just hours before the surgery, the teenager blinked and began to breathe on his own again."
As you obviously have no idea about the process of organ donations I'll copy and paste:
While the search for matching recipients is under way, the deceased donor's organs are maintained on artificial support. Machines keep blood containing oxygen flowing to the organs. The condition of each organ is carefully monitored by the hospital medical staff and the OPO procurement coordinator.
A transplant surgical team replaces the medical team that treated the patient before death. (The medical team trying to save the patient’s life and the transplant team are never the same team.)
The surgical team removes the organs and tissues from the donor's body in an operating room. First, organs are recovered, and then additional authorized tissues such as bone, cornea, and skin. All incisions are surgically closed. Organ donation does not interfere with open-casket funerals.
Organs remain healthy only for a short period of time after removal from the donor, so minutes count. The OPO representative arranges the transportation of the organs to the hospitals of the intended recipients. Transportation depends on the distance involved, and can include ambulances, helicopters, and commercial airplanes.

barry, yes I am relying on you to tell me about the process. I have learned that people are kept alive so they can be hacked up for spare parts. That is what you said right? ...and the person concerned this time, woke up just before that process, right?. So the question naturally follows: How did they determine the person was "dead"? Clearly that needs looking at.
bednobs: "if you actually read the link he didnt "wake up" " - from the article: "Just hours before the surgery, the teenager blinked and began to breathe on his own again." - ok so he didn't actually open his eyes and play chess but I'd say breathing un aided and blinking are sure signs of a brain functioning.
however, he is now back on the ventilator so can no longer breathe on his own.
Even if he does start breathing again, as I said sometimes it's better to die - look at Michael schumacher. He will just become a burden on his family and the NHS and state. Sure, his family want him to survive, but surviving in a coma, dependent on machines is no life (IMO)
It probably sounds cold, but it's the reality. he is unlikely to become an independent, functioning member of society again :(
