Thus, I doubt we'll ever see legal organ sales here.

Let us fervently hope not. Regardless of religious belief or lack thereof, this is way beyond the pale. This is criminal behavior made legal.

Perhaps if your talking about certain types of organ sales, from selling the organs of executed criminals, to forcing or at least pressuring people to donate organs, all the way to "organleggers" like those in Niven's stories where people are killed and "harvested".

But if your talking about organ sales in general, I have to disagree with you. I say there is nothing criminal or immoral about it, and it could be very beneficial.
