It is a racket. I'm afraid my grandfather was kept on life support for
a long time to jack up the bills and then they refused to release the
body until the payment was settled in cash. (I wasn't in the country)
But then this story is in contrast to the anti-eastern-mysticism tirade

Here is an example. We came to one village and heard some disturbing
news. A young woman had just died. Apparently she had endured a
complicated childbirth a couple of days before. The newborn baby was
ok. But the childbirth had been complicated by a 'retained placenta'.
The relatives could have done something about this. After such an event
the natives of Africa will put their family member on a litter and carry
them a hundred miles if need be. They will take them straight to the
nearest mission or government hospital. But here in this land beyond the
Indus River a great spiritual darkness brooded over the people. The
young woman was judged to have 'bad karma'. The spell of death had been
cast. Nothing could be done. And she was going to die.
Eastern mysticism has within it a spiritual poison that cripples the
will. (A trip to Calcutta will drive this lesson home in a hurry.) A
spirit of inevitability hangs over the land. So in the case of this
young woman with her retained placenta nothing was done.
Of course she went on to develop sepsis. She died a couple of days after
her baby was born. This woman, hidden in the folds of the Himalayan
Mountains, had in effect been judged by the spirits of the area. She was
considered to have "bad Karma". Now she was paying for her sins in a
previous incarnation. Nothing that anyone did was going to change
that. So she was left to die.
I shall never forget that woman. Even today when I hear the familiar
strains of eastern mysticism which says in effect "everything is
relative" and "Que Sera, Sera, Whatever will be." I stop. And I remember
that woman.

That said, today organ harvesting is one of the worse evils that have
emerged from modern science. Once some poor sod is "declared braindead"
it is a goldmine for the whole industry and the queues of rich people
waiting for organs. I've met several recipients personally and also seen
pieces in the news where people have beeen [road-] "accidented" and then
"declared braindead" so their kidneys and other parts could be given to
ruling polticians and their families, (who in some cases did not
survive)
