Of course organ donation saves lives.
Remember the headline? “U.S. moves to decertify group that tried to collect organs from living patients.” Sort of stands to reason that if you remove the organs from a living patient, that will kill them.
I wasn’t making it seem like anything. I was explaining to you why your own opening sentence is a poor choice to use given the headline of the article if you want to end with encouraging people to be organ donors.
If your goal is to encourage people to be organ donors despite this news story, you should probably downplay the number of people instead of starting out by saying it seems like it happens to dozens of patients. Even though dozens of people is a relatively small percentage of the whole, saying it that way makes it seem like it wasn’t just a one-off thing and it happens quite often.
