You must be out of your mind! Terminally ill patients will not have any organs left to harvest as they all will be affected sooner or later. If not by the dissease, it may be from the medication.

Terminate their life to earn a buck? That is completely against any morals of human kind. You tossed the "to save them some suffering in" to win people over, but in all reality, one would have to terminate ones life almost on diagnosis in order to be sellable. That would mean that someone with cancer would have to kill himself right away and even then it is not garuanteed that it has not spread. Your ideas are unrealistic and opposed to humanity. Organ donors save life after they die. Not die to save a life, not die to make a buck.

Go to China, you can order your organ. They find a donor, charge him, execute him or her and voila one heart for Mr. Rich. I couldn't live with that!
