"these people prey on organs from the recently deceased."
They're trying to save lives. Make no mistake, people's lives are jeopardized every time someone decides that the integrity of a corpse is more important.
Edit to add: the description of medical professionals as "preying" on the dead is an odd one. One cannot prey on dead bodies, which have no thoughts or feelings. The only problem with what they do is the effect on the feelings of the living (e.g. yourself) but as I indicated, saving lives is more important. Sorry.
