People that wish to make their flesh a commodity while theyre alive or dead have that choice.
Not so much while they're alive. There are laws against selling a kidney, for instance, even though allowing it would save a number of lives every year. Our organ donation laws mostly seem to be based on squeamishness.
This problem isn't going to be resolved until reliable and efficient organ cloning technology becomes available.

There are all sorts of ways to make one’s flesh a commodity. Had I expressed it any other way, someone would have pointed out the obvious omission. :O)

Our organ donation laws are based on keeping the financial proceeds from the multi-billion dollar organ harvesting business flowing into the proper accounts.
