But it happens in the sex trade all the time. The black market is a big disincentive towards an organ market, even though if there was an open market, prices would drop (ty 3rd world) to the point where it wasn't such a black market commodity...though ofc it would still happen. lots.
If you want more organs, a bigger impact than any capitalist solution is to just make organ donation a default, and allow the option to opt out of it if say you're like the gf I had when I was 16 who said "yeah but what if I need my organs in heaven".
