PBA: I have spoken personally to many leading Poskim about this. I feel it is a tremendous Pikuach Nefesh and that any Posek who refuses to let people do this is Machshil es Harabbim and Gorem Sakanas Nefashos for many Jews, especially those in Eretz Yisrael where European countries won’t send organs because a very high percentage of Israelis (mostly the communities whose Rabbis won’t let them donate organs) refuse to be organ donors.

Sam: I am going to blast you. It doesn’t mean I don’t respect you; it just means I’d like to impress you with how wrong you are here.

I get that some poskim hold it is muttar, and even a mitzva. And that according to those poskim it is sakanas nefashos perhaps.

That does not mean that the rov poskim who hold it is assur are being machshil people. This is a valid machlokes- you will not find poskim holding that the other side is illegitimate, as you make it out to be.

You really should have more respect for poskim who disagree with poskim who you agree with. Particularly since your agreement or disagreement is really just a matter of liking the outcome in the case. (Sorry, I know you know a lot of torah, but you are not competent to take sides in this, and that is just how it is.)
