With reference to Archie Battersbee case, the boy is essentially dead, with his life supported by machines keeping him alive. How do people then die in hospital from much less smaller problems, let’s say liver failure or kindey failure or pancreatitis. Why can’t we plug them to a machine that acts like the failing organ keeping them alive until they can get a donor?

Because we don’t properly understand how all our organs operate. We know the liver and kidneys work together to remove toxins from the body. We know that has to do with enzymes, we even have them labeled with specific properties they break down. However understanding the process doesn’t equal being able to recreate it.
Furthermore, in the U.S.A. it’s not cost effective.
