I believe (I wasn't in the country then and missed the public discourse) that those rules were put in place after some allegation regarding financial conflict of interest were made. I had to speak to such a committee. I was not fond of that idea, willing to explain myself, but not to defend my decision. It turned out however, that this was rather a formality, the committee being three very friendly, well meaning and encouraging citizen. But yes, the system in the US (donate to a pool, recipient receives from pool) seems preferable as in my case the recipient is not a perfect match for my organ and consequently (afaiu, but I know next to nothing about medicine and biology) has to henceforth take (fairly expensive) autoimmune suppressors.
