At the risk of sounding redundant, when you choose to sell your organs it is your choice. When another party chooses to end your life so that they may have your organs they are commiting not just murder but theft as well.

How do you know that some poor rat bastard sold his life to feed his kids, wife and/or family? He may be of sound state of mind but not have any alternative. How do you safe guard against that???!

Would you rather his family starved? If this is his last option then you are telling me that he can either sell his organs or his family will starve. You want to force him to choose starvation. That seems infinitely more cruel to me.
There was a case in Texas (I believe) of a midget who let himself be bowled. People would pick him up and throw him down an alley into some pins. He did this willingly, eagerly even. He had no other skills and was excited that he could make so much money doing this. Well, the local chapter for the Preservation of the Rights of the Vertically Challenged (or some other such intrusive, unwanted, and unnecessary group) simply couldn't have midgets being used as bowling balls. So they sued the bar that was sponsoring the event and won. Now, the midget bowling ball has no job and no income.
What gave these people the right to decide how and where this man could use his body? Why are they allowed to say that they know what's better for him than he does?

I understand your desire for self determination but will never agree with the extent you are taking it to.

Why? What harm comes to you because of it? What stake do you have in my body? Why can I not do with my body what I wish? Does it belong to you or me?
