As you've pointed out, the alternative for those who need these cells (but can't get them) is death. I agree completely.
But the argument for the other side isn't sound. Poor people (with the right haplotype at the right time) could become quite rich if we don't try to interfere with bone marrow sales. Do you know what I'd pay for cells that would save my life if I needed them? Quite a lot more than I paid for my car.
