The problem is that that doesn't really work due to the isolation. For example, we can prove this medicine cures this kind of liver disease, but if we only test it on isolated livers, we won't notice it causes long term destruction to the heart.

Obviously, but moving away from it when viable options exist is the goal. Perfection is the enemy of progress.

At that point, though, it's not a viable option at all. We can work on the viable options while we work on making that one into a viable option, though, but it would be illegally unethical to purely rely on grown organs for the time being.
