We already know that the legal system is flawed....it couldhappen... 
Or, at least, there's a huge potential for abuse.

Yeah, lets just kill all the fuckers. It's cleaning the gene pool, right? Ruling by fear, right? Nazi Germany, right? The only difference is the target group and what is done to the body afterwards (harvested for organs and not burned). Since you don't think two people/month is enough, I can only assume you want 60,000/day. That sure would clean out the prison system.

Simple. Don't make it a free market. Let the government run it. They can not accept ANY money into the department. The place is run at a loss. The employees, being federal employees, still get paid no matter what, but no one gets paid more for there being more organs "harvested". You might still have to worry about bribes, but that's a constant everywhere in this world. When it comes to human life, the "market value" of the person shouldn't play a role in determining their fate. This is why I hate the medical system we have in our country:
Admitting Nurse: You have insurance?
Bleeding Person: No.
Admitting Nurse: Then sorry, we can't help you. Either goto general, or save yourself the time and just die out in the street.
Or this:
Doctor: There is only one cure for what you have, and it's this brand new MegaCure™ pill. That'll be $39.95 per pill. Take 3 a day for 2 years.
Sick Person: But I don't have that kind of money, and I don't have insurance that will cover it.
Doctor: Well, guess your going to die then. Next!
Not very "humain" of us, now is it.

Someone brought up the point of 'What about all of these people who say they're all for organ donation, but then their organs rot?'
This is obviously a problem. Part of the reason that it's a problem is because there are people like me, who are absolutely in favor of organ donation and have 'ORGAN DONOR' put on their driver's licenses. Those people sometimes have a next of kin who is vehemently opposed to organ donation (like I do).
If I died tomorrow, before harvesting my organs, the national organ bank would have to get the permission of the person who would then legally own my body - my next of kin. Despite my making it absolutely clear that I want my organs to be donated, it wouldn't happen. Because next of kin would veto it.
And no, they can't just go by what I stipulate in a will or some other document. The next of kin always has the final say.

That sucks. I always thought the will had the final say.

I heard a story of an old rich man, who married a younger woman. She wanted kids, but he didn't. He specifically stipualted in his will that his body was to be burned, and that no sperm or DNA sample was to be taken. When he died, his wife claimed he "changed his mind on the deathbed." The doctor removed a small sperm sample from him before cremation, and the woman's egg was fertilized in a petri dish.
I think that sucks.

It just proves that the laws in this country are fucked up. A person's will should never be questioned. You can't make a will unless you are mentally sound, so anything in there should be held as the true intent of the person.

Thats the same garbage thats going on with Ted Williams. His will says that he was to be cremeated, and his son insisted that Williams wanted to be frozen, and his DNA sold some day! Now who in the blue hell woud want to buy Ted Williams' DNA?

That is why you get a will/living will that puts a person in charge of your body that is not your kin.
Hell, my wife does not even get a say in the "pull the plug and harvest the bastard!" question when it comes time.
