If the donor is truly dead and the issue is only Kavod haMeis, there are grounds to permit it due to Pikuach Nefesh. However, most organs can only be donated while the heart is still beating. According to most Poskim that brain death is not dead in Halacha, this is murdering one person to save another and is not permitted.
