Dead in recovery unit

Well, just because she's dead doesn't mean she can't be kept on life support measures for an emergency organ harvest. Your thing seems to be alien reproduction, various medical test subjects, and then having a high casualty rate. The medical death approach is not a common one, but all the more welcome for it. I get the impression that they're largely disposable and the medical personnel on site don't shed many tears over a subject dying. There's plenty more where that came from, and you can always strip the dead ones for parts. That approach which is normally antithetical to how we would like to think people act in a medical setting is closer to reality than most people think. Someone died in surgery; you strip them, get them on icez make them someone else's problem, and move on to the next case. That's why a doctor's office is called a medical "practice," because you're someone they can try to hone their skills on.
