Explanation:

Persuasive language is the use of certain words to appeal to the emotions of people such that certain types of feelings are elicited from them. These feels can be pride, sadness, happiness and even anger.

In this case the targeted emotion is sympathy and sadness. By including that the people on the organ transplant waiting list wait for people to not only die but to agree to save their lives is meant to make the reader feel sad about the predicament of people on the organ transplant list.
