Why not? People sell everything from hair to sex these days and in our current economic state why shouldn't people be able to sell there organs? The way I see it, your organs are yours, one of the only things that you have carried with you for your whole life. They need to be taken care of for so long so why not take compensation for giving them up. Especially if your still alive to make the conscience decision to give them up. I think the organ donor program in place today does fine and should not be messed with, but the fact is that it just doesn't produce enough organs to feed our population. People die waiting on organ lists and if people were being payed to give them up then maybe the problem wouldn't be as bad. The only place i see a problem with selling organs is that people that are richer would only be able to afford those organs, leaving those without money out of luck. But then again healthcare has all sorts of flaws like that and the wealthy have been receiving better healthcare than the poor since the beginning of it all. All in all I see no issues with putting your organs up for sale. Unless your dead in which case they should be free.
Take this article for example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-10786211
This guy can see the benefits of selling organs, increasing a supply of organs can only help the current shortage so why not allow people to sell there organs. those capable of purchasing them will no longer clog up the waiting lists. Plus it could provide a lot of money to someone who probably really needs it. I'm sure not giving away any of my organs. Only for family and friends.
