Yes, they should be able to sell the organs that will cause their death. To be honest, this is kind of a new idea for me because I really never considered it. It seems like a no-brainer for me (maybe I sold mine?!). There is no property more obviously private as your own body, not being able to do what you want with it seems completely alien to me.

The only argument against it that I can come up with now is that organs would be relegated to those who can afford them. Of course, this has some validity but there's no reason to think that ALL people will choose to sell their organs, some will gladly donate them; just as some people choose to pay exhorbitant taxes yet still gladly give of their time and money to various charities. In addition, there's no reason to believe that health insurance policies won't compete on how extensively they cover the cost of organ replacement, whether to include the cost of purchasing that organ or not.

I think it would be overly presumptious to state that the pool of available organs would decline. It's just as possible that the pool of organs available would increase. For example, I only just became an organ donor this year when I renewed my driver's license, it just wasn't top of mind until I was presented with the question on the form. If I knew that my family could make some money off of my dead and bloating carcass, then I would certainly fill out the paperwork before I died. Just a little extra for them. Additionally, there are probably those with terminal illnesses who have unaffected organs ready for harvest. They could choose to terminate their lives while both providing new life for someone else and some money for their heirs. I'm sure they would rather their death have some benefit rather than simply waste away.
