Where a victim with the use of medical treatments reattaches the cut-off organ to his/her body, supposing that we recognize his or her rights in terms of legal and legitimate rights in the mentioned-matter, this raises a critical question that is whether his/her right of retribution still remains?

In response to this question, despite of the current, divergent views, it seems that by the occurrence of felony, the right of retribution for the victim is established and the use or non-use of organ reattachment has no effects on this right. Furthermore, this article concludes arguing that the effect of felony should remain to time of retribution and comparing the organ reattachment to tooth restoration, which causes deterioration of retribution rights, is not acceptable.
