Organs, when the blood supply is cut off, suffer ischemia (lack of oxygen) and the tissue dies (think heart attack, severing, clamping, etc); the reintroduction of blood (reperfusion) to an oxygen-deprived tissue is good, yes the tissue gets needed blood, oxygen and nutrients; however, reperfusion itself creates a cascade of inflammatory mediators being released, causing more tissue injury.

The longer an organ is deprived of blood flow, the greater the ischemic AND repefusion injury. That’s why transplanting organs from living donors is ideal —the organ has little damage. Transplanting an organ from an ice chest, not ideal.

Likely lacking terror enhancement, as well.

Hard to terrorize and train an organ from an ice chest

An "Aborted" baby, on the other hand...
