...what? Is there some media conspiracy pushing unnecessary organ transplants on people that I'm unaware of?

I don't think anyone gets a liver transplant because of an article in Goop. I imagine that in most cases, they do it because they're going to die without it.

It's really a lot more complicated than that.

But I think it's time for me to walk away from this discussion.

And they still have a great likelihood to die even after.

So, after a heart attack we should not try to do CPR on you because you have a great likelihood to die either way, do I get it right?

You might want to look into the definition of odds.
