When I worked, we talked to the non responsive believing "that they had the ability to process incoming information.. there have been stories of them reviving later and recounting the family talking about their death.. My family know..no organ donation at all from me.. for just this reason"

Or if they do, they should talk about it in another room! ;-)

Yes but that person wasn’t brain dead.

There has never, ever been a case a someone who’s been declared brain dead according to the American Academy of Neurology’s criteria coming back. That means having a flat EEG, waiting 24 hours, having a still flat EEG, and a negative cerebral blood flow scan.

By then of course your brain has already started to rot a bit but no harm in making sure.
