The hospital cannot and will not take organs unless the parents/guardians give them the ok to do so. Such misinformation is unjust to the people who need them . Been there done that.
Correct. I've been through this. In the case of my younger brother, the hospital went through an excruciating process with far more detail than we wanted to know and made us listen to it before presenting the forms for signature to donate my brothers organs.
To this day, I have no idea why they needed any forms to be signed because he was explicit about being an organ donor. He had a DNR (that he kept with him) and signed the back of his drivers license confirming he was an organ donor.
I personally didn't see the need at that point for the hospital to put his 19 year old daughter (with her 17 year old sister witnessing the process) through all that. They were his next of kin, only his 19 year old daughter could sign off on the organ donation "as a formality."
That poor young girl, my heart still breaks for her.
10 years ago I’d have never believed that abortionists actually sold dead baby parts for profit either.

But they can and do declare people prematurely brain dead IN SPITE OF OBJECTIONS OF PARENTS OR FAMILY WITH LEGAL HEALTH CARE POWER OF ATTORNEY.
Make sure your loved ones take off the organ donor on driver’s license. It trumps even legal decision members in some states.
