So the organex solution will revive dead people, but like a brain dead or vegetative state? Working organs, beating hearts and all? For the purpose of transplant. Interesting.

a braindead person has had their brain tissue destroyed. Organex promises to preserve or restore organ function, but its unlikely that you can revive brain tissue.

Its really just an extra effective version of a ventilator - tons of promise, but not going to bring dead people back to life without consequences.

Most people who die aren’t candidates for organ donation because their hearts stopped beating and no oxygen got to the organs so they shut down.

Unless they were breaking dead but still had breathing and a heartbeat or they were placed on a ventilator prior to death, they organs are no good.

Using this method, people who die unexpectedly can then be placed on a ventilator and have their hearts made to beat until the organs can be harvested.

Considering how very many people die each year waiting on the transplant list (17 people each day in the US), this is amazing!
