I'll tell you what the problem is here in the States. (Haven't read the articles just yet): Money taken from the Healthcare systems and from the people who pay for those organs (v. people who've been waiting... Take Mickey Mantle receiving a liver right away versus some one on the list for years) and the *ahem* right wing religious institutions. True, it's our bodies, but...we belong to the govt/industry.
However, instead of funeral/burial procedures, you can donate your bod to science for their cadaver collection. I think the money you get varies from state to state and uni to uni, but it is condoned.
In some cultures, however, however, even organ transplant is frowned upon by some people, even those that would benefit. Take Japan for one. Some docs will do it, some won't. Some people will accept it, and some folks won't.
