Preparing organs for donation have nothing to do with removing organs, or even preparing to do so. The donor body must be kept in a proper state to ensure the organs remain viable, among other things it means ensuring the body is properly hydrated, is oxygenated and so on. (Medical info courtesy of what I understand my med school student neighbor explanation) The article is focusing on the fact that the doctors basically gave up hope and moved into preserve the cadaver for donation mode and that they were wrong in their prognosis. I hardly see any indication of an organ harvesting operation.
