 The expression ‘organ sale’ covers a wide range of different practices.  People most readily associate it with the case in which one individual (who needs or wants money) sells his or her kidney to another (who needs a kidney).  But there are other possibilities too.  One (in countries where the prior consent of the deceased is required for cadaveric organ donation) is to pay people living now for rights over their body after death.  Another (in countries where the consent of relatives is required for cadaveric organ donation) is to pay relatives for transplant rights over their recently deceased loved ones' bodies.
