Organ donors save life after they die. Not die to save a life, not die to make a buck.

Unlike most people, I don't believe that morals should be the foundation of law. If someone wants to kill himself to provide some money to his family (or whomever might be the beneficiary of his will), I think that is fine.
The only requirement I would place on the practice would be that people who were going to sell organs that would result in their death would have to get a psychologist to sign off that they were mentally sound.

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!

I couldn't either.
