I doubt the blood is more useful than all the organs required to produce it.
But if I lie braindead in a hospital, I would be happy if my body is divided up in the way a doctor determines to be the most useful for society.
Depends on the needs of the patient. If you're bleeding to death and the hospital you're actively dying in is out of your blood type, then absolutely blood is more useful than organs.
If you need a new lung, a huge stock of blood transfusion bags isn't going to do you much good.
The goal would be for supply to outpace demand for all of the above.
It really depends on your blood types.
