eli5: If someone dies in a hospital, why can’t we just give them organs and blood ASAP?
In: 0
There are way more dying old people than organ donors for one – and if they were likely to survive such a surgery for any length of time we’d already have tried it.
Either the injury is catastrophic, or their body is old and frail and cancer-ridden and a total waste of a donor organ.
