Why not think of it as recycling? Larry Niven wrote a series of stories based on the premise that organ transplants would become seriously commoditized. "Organlegging" became a high-pay crime (kidnap and part out some unsuspecting victim), and the death penalty was voted in for more and more convictions. In one story, a guy got sent up for failure to pay outstanding parking tickets. Well, he WAS a repeat offender.
