What they don't tell you is that you are alive when they take your organs.
When you die, your organs shut down and become useless very quickly.
In an accident where you die, and it takes a while for help to arrive, and they have to cut your body out of the wreckage, and they transport your body wherever, the organs are useless by then. They don't take you to a hospital and rip out a few organs to store on a shelf etc and look up who to give your organs to.
To do an emergency operation requires prepping the receiving person, and getting the surgeons and all else ready... way too late for any of your organs to be useful.
However in an accident where you are nearly dead, but even could recover, you are transported to a hospital. Then a decision is made as to whether to use your organs or try to get you back to normal. If the decision is to harvest your organs, then the surgeons are organised, the recipient of your organs is prepped and you are brought in to the same operating room, alive, and then they harvest your organs. And then you die.
Meditate on that before you sign up to be an organ donor.
