If the answer is more people would die

There are some really good answers, but they are not used because they're not profitable. That goes for food, pharma, pollution and harmful technology.

I do not believe the reason why organs fail

It is a fact, radiation causes cancer. It's not a matter of personal belief.

doesn't he deserve a transplant

From a willing human, only.

Diabetes, alcohol and food preservatives

I will give you that I forgot about those. Especially about diabetes. But I also do come from Europe and we do not put - by a gigantic amount - that much sugar into our food and drinks, that is why I forgot about that.

Alcohol, yeah it is addictive, but if drank in moderation it can actually have some positive effects. And that is coming from the country where the average citizen drinks over 200 l of beer per year.

About the radiation - there are different kinds of radiation. And each of them affects the human body differently. I haven't seen any scientific studies that would show that the types of radiation produced by everyday electronics severely harm the human body to a degree you are describing. And I do prefer to base my conclusions on scientific studies.

And lastly - transplants:

From a willing human only.
Why? We eat animals. We eat plants. We cultivate and change them based on what we humans as a civilization need. This just seems to me like another step in that direction. And honestly far less inhumane than for example some of the industrial slaughterhouses.

Chocolate, candy, cake, desserts and sweets in general.

You should look some more up. It causes cancer over time. Will you get cancer from using a mobile phone for a year? Unlikely. Will you get cancer for being exposed to wifi waves, microwaves, mobile phones, computer chips, etc? Yes, although after several decades as their effects slowl build up.
