Ummm, yeah. Even in cases of severe hydranencephaly, where as much as 90% of the brain is missing, the person is still conscious. They would obviously be severely disabled...but no less "alive". At the end of the day, using these people for organ harvesting or full body transplants would still be murder.

We just need organ pets. A dog that keeps your spare kidney alive. Harvesting it doesn’t kill it. You’ll take damn good care of that pet.
I feel like I’m pitching a Cronenberg movie.
