My mind first goes to all of the things that could go wrong. That's precisely why I am not an organ donor. I don't want to put anyone in the position of making these decisions based on probability and likelihood. Harvest the organs of the willing only after clinical death has occurred. I'm concerned that one day a poor person could sustain a traumatic brain injury and just so happens to be a tissue match for someone who is rich, famous, politically connected or influential who needs an organ.

The chances of that happening to any one particular person are quite small. The wealthy in the current system already have an unfair advantage by being able to 'multiple list', a path not open to those of lesser means. It's all perfectly legal, of course.
