Not being a doctor, I can't say for sure. But it seems to me that there are terminal illnesses which don't spread to other parts of the body. At the very least, those organs could be tested to ensure that they are not diseased or adversely affected by the medication.
The point is, the patient can make that determination, along with their doctor, before the disease spreads to the other systems or other parts of the body. Someone with a brain tumor should have nothing wrong with their arms, legs, eyes, heart, stomach, intestines, or any myriad of parts and pieces that are completely unrelated to the brain.

Terminate their life to earn a buck? That is completely against any morals of human kind.

Well, it may be against your morals, but my morals start with "every person has the right to own their own body and do with it as they please". Perhaps you believe that you or the state know what is best for me? Perhaps you or the state believe that smoking marijuana is bad for me, so you outlaw marijuana. Perhaps you or the state believe that I'm too fat and my cholesterol is too high, so you outlaw cheeseburgers. Perhaps you or the state believe that I'm not in the right frame of mind spiritually, so you close down my Church of the Self and force me into a Christian Rehabilitation program.

No, I didn't. If that were my purpose it certainly didn't work with you, did it?

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.

Then this is all really beside the point, isn't it? If it's not possible then you have no worries. If it is possible, why do you have such a problem with what other people do with their own bodies if it doesn't effect you?

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.

Opposed to humanity? Where is the rulebook?
Would it still go against the Cosmic Morality Code to GIVE your organs away while they are still functioning for you?

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!

Why are you equating obvious breaches of liberty rights with
choosing to sell your own body parts?
