there have been studies (and yes they were scientific)...

I just googled
“study organ donation”
“study organ donor mortality”
“study organ donation care”
and looked at the search results 5 pages deep and came up with nothing. As Kimbell pointed out, that’s pretty weird considering that if such a study existed it would be hugely controversial and be all over the news and on page 1 of the search results. My guess is the studies you heard about actually had to do with the mortality of *living* organ donors (not surprisingly, people who choose to donate organs while alive have a slightly higher chance of dying early), or maybe studies regarding whether it made sense to try to use extraordinary means to treat terminal patients in order to *save* their organs for donation (like
this study on the benefits of flying helicopters out to self-inflicted headshot victims in order to save their organs). Don't you agree it's more likely than not that the kind of study you're talking about doesn't exist?
