Organ Donation

Anybody seen any good studies or reasons to believe organ donation to science may be more effective than organ donation to people or vice versa (or any better alternatives?)?
Lmk.

No studies, but it would be incredibly hard to believe given a) the large health gains to someone who gets a kidney b) how well resourced scientific research institutes are and thus able to get organs that they need for research.

"how well resourced scientific research institutes are and thus able to get organs that they need for research."
Hmm, are they allowed to buy organs, though? Otherwise, the fact that they're well resourced might not matter much for their access to organs.
