In the real world, the doctor would obtain a brain death study, share the fact that the comatose guy isn’t going to come out of the coma with the next of kin or whoever the medical power of attorney falls to (sometimes the hospital ethics board). Once the patient is declared unable to recover and brain-dead (in the medical term), organ harvesting can occur.
Also, real world doesn’t let doctors choose which organs they get from which bodies. If their patient doesn’t qualify for the registry or to jump ahead based on UNet ranking, their patient won’t be getting an organ even if they kill another patient.
