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

You would have to intervene much sooner than before they are dead. You would have to do something to support them when they are alive.
We do not have the ability to recover the dead. Usually when someone dies, things change in their body that we are not yet able to reverse.
I do not doubt that death will become a minor inconvenience at some point in the future, but for now it is mostly insurmountable.
We can recover people from some cardiac events and certain traumas, but for the most part dead is an ending we can not overcome.
