eli5: If someone dies in a hospital, why can’t we just give them organs and blood ASAP?

Your body needs electrical impulses to live. These come from the brain and get sent through the nerves. If an organ doesn’t receive electrical impulses from the brain, they don’t respond, so they don’t work. Replacing the organs or blood won’t matter if the brain doesn’t function to send signals for the organs to work.
