Okay on second thought I'm not sure I'd want to play in a game where the players sex the head back on a body. It's what I get for posting without proofreading though.
As for what's stopping people from making funky hybrids with the raise dead? The person's spirit/soul/what-have-you that you're stuffing back into the body. The spell specifically says that the subject's soul must be willing to return and most likely your buddy's not going to be coming back to his head stitched onto a kobold body or the other way around. Also I'd say that the mega-powerful, near omniscient being granting you the power to bring the recently dead back to life is what's preventing the magic from raising a random pile of body parts.
