Huge paywall blocker, I managed to remove part of it with UBO. As far as the article goes, well, yeah probably. There's brain dead organ donation and cardiac death organ donation. The cardiac death process is once the heart stops beating they are supposed to legally wait five minutes then as fast as possible get the eligible organs explanted.
