The problem is that the company?/agency? paying for your organs can't know that they will be usable or even that you will die in a way that your organs can be retreived. I had a discussion with a medical student, where she explained that not all deaths results in a body that from which organs could be used. The discussion was prompted by a recent law that made citizens of our country organ donor by default (if you don't have a card stating you're not an organ donor or if you haven't registered as not an organ donor, you're considered one) and she said that death where the organs could be used where way less frequent. Edit: yes, the family/relatives are consulted before

  Nor do the health insurance company. The company profit out of accidents and parts like cornea from people who die at an older age. In japan on the back of all the public insurance card there is a place to state do you want to give up you organs for free if you die accidentally. You carry it everywhere and have are required to sign it. If you think about it again, maybe it is better to our organs to a private company than the government.

  -> (if you don't have a card stating you're not an organ donor or if you haven't registered as not an organ donor, you're considered one). That does not sounds right. (default is not donating here in JP) but I am sure relatives are consulted about this. ->she said that death where the organs could be used where way less frequent. Interesting, though you need the numbers to find out whether you can make profit out of it.(How often do people need an organ transplant?)(I assume if this is to be real, you would "buy" organs from 3rd world countries(where a few hundred dollars mean a lot to them) and sell the organs at the states.)
