As grim as it might be, transplants are handled by apathetic, risk averse math and little else. Loose organs and surgeons are far from common.

Honestly I find that the opposite of grim, I wish more problems were solved in a cold and calculated way.

Like killing disabled people because it's cheaper, farming slaves to provide cheap labour, that sort of thing?

There a good reason we tend to prefer the more humane and emotionally guided solutions over the mathematically most efficient.
