Organs May contain a spoiler or two

"Say that you once bought a heart or new corneas."

Okay. My theory:
You get an organ(or a couple)replaced by GeneCo. 90 days has come and gone and now you're suddenly default and now up for repossession. The Repo Man comes, claims the property and you are no more. But what about the rest of your perfectly good organs?

Personally, I feel they should completely void the body of ALL organs and use them as stock and to be reused for other replacements. I mean, why waste good organs? There are other good organs that could be reused: eyes, brain, lungs, heart...heck even your bones (the Handleman gets his spine reposessed) can be reused.

What do you think?

True in a way.
But I always had the impression that the organs GeneCo creates are superior to human organs. For example Mag's eyes, they do more than normal eyes.

So why would GeneCo want regular organs when they're creating ones that are ten times better?

Maybe they have ways to make ordinary organs better. It's the future and it's GeneCo. I mean there's the theory that Mag's eyes were once Marni's (I disagree; Mag received the surgery BEFORE Marni passed)

True. We could always hope for a prequel to answer everything! Lol.

I'm hoping for both.
Rumor is that RTGO is the middle of a 3 part story

Yea I read that too. Only it did so poorly in theaters that they can't find a production company to fund the other two films. :(

I know. So they are relying on the fans to get more theaters to show. No one can blame Bousman and company; it's Lionsgate they have to blame. It's there fault that the movie didn't get out there like they'd hoped. If Lionsgate hadn't been so stubborn, I bet Repo! would have more light.

And while we are at the organ subject...a little thing that was irritating me in the movie..just a little bit!
What organ failure had Nathan? It's not beeing mentioned at all..? Or did I miss something? I know that they can't describe everyone organ failures,of every single one in the movie but let's face it! Nathan IS basically, the main part in this movie, and if every human had some organ failure, HIS should at least have been mentioned.

Nathan didn't. He was blackmailed into being Repo Man by Rotti after Marni died. Rotti blackmailed him because he made Nathan the "bad guy" and told Nathan that he would tell Shilo that Nathan killed Marni. Nathan decides to quit being Repo after Rotti makes a hit on Mag, Marni's best friend. Rotti didn't want him dead at first. He just wanted Nathan. Nathan's death wasn't really planned; Rotti only killed him to get Shilo to comply.

So, Nathan had no organ default. He was just a victim in Rotti's vicious game.
