You're trying to make this polarized, but it's not about good vs evil. It's an observation that it's likely something in an equilibrium today is likely to shift somewhat in the future. No one is saying "now we need to harvest organs" but "there is going to be a new problem emerging in the future, and that problem will require new solutions".
Even as someone quite interested in autonomous vehicles, and optimistic that they will become extremely feasible, creating dramatic changes in our world in the process, I hadn't until now thought of the organ shortage they might create.
Does it mean we start creating people to harvest their organs? Of course not; please don't be ridiculous. Perhaps it means that biotech companies have yet another gap in medicine to think about tackling, though.
