Declared dead, but alive
How ironic. A 2006 Illinois law makes a person’s decision to donate their organs legally binding over the wishes of the surviving family. Just as Secretary of State Jesse White pushes for victims’ rights to donate their organs is in motion, this strange story comes along.
It’s so eerily like the sleeper fright flick this year — "Awake . . ."
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Four months after he was declared brain dead and doctors were about to remove his organs for transplant, Zach Dunlap says he feels "pretty good."
Dunlap was pronounced dead Nov. 19 at United Regional Healthcare System in Wichita Falls, Texas, after he was injured in an all-terrain vehicle accident. His family approved having his organs harvested.
