These things are very rarely thought of by the defendants themselves, especially if that's a doctor employed by an important and a wealthy lab. Realistically, you need to attribute this response to his (well, his employer's) lawyer. And that was probably chosen in such a way to impede or to confuse the prosecution. I'd doubt the doctor in question made the call himself about the organ harvesting -- most likely his employer was well aware of the procedure. We will most likely never know what the doctor himself thought about doing it.

This man (Clarence Lushbaugh) was also involved in a controversial research program where they exposed human test subjects to varying degrees of radiation by having them sit in test chambers disguised as waiting rooms. Later, he was promoted. Of the controversy he remarked, "Only God can retire me," according to Wikipedia[0]. I've verified the citation as present on page 44 of the Sept./Oct. 1981 of Mother Jones towards the bottom of the first column[1]. This was published 15 years before the date of the trial in the current discussion. I'm sensing a pattern.
