See my reply to cousin_it re: expense, but I think it's harder to find a match for organs than it is to find one for blood. So there's a good chance that if she were hit by a cement truck, nobody needing a transplant of any organs left intact would match her - but that's not something the operating doctors would be able to test for while she was actively on her way to bleeding out in the ICU.
It wouldn't kill you to admit that you didn't consider the relative value of blood and organs in the heat of improvising a joke ;)
