According to this story, a guy in France wasn't quite dead enough to be an organ donor.
Even though he'd been dead for an hour and a half.
Quote:
The 45-year-old man suffered a massive heart attack and rescuers used cardiac massage to try and [sic] revive him without success before transferring him to a nearby hospital.
Due to a series of complex circumstances, revival efforts continued for longer than usual for a patient whose heart was not responding to treatment, until doctors started preparations to remove organs.
It was at that point that the astonished surgeons noticed the man was beginning to breathe unaided again, his pupils were active, he was giving signs that he could feel pain -- and finally, his heart started beating again.
Several weeks later, the man can walk and talk.
No word if he has a craving for braaaaaainz.

This is like every organ donor's worst fear and every non-organ donor's rationale come to life. Whoa...scary.
