Organ donation is a complicated issue, more complicated than is generally known. I understand International law prohibits any charges be made, or money passing hands, for the organ itself, only for charges for the logistics involved.
That being said, I had a class in college on Economics of the Health Care Industry, and during the course of the class I wrote a paper on "Ethics of the Medical Profession". During my research, I found documentation of a clique of doctors in Thailand who were pulling the plug early on terminal cases so they could harvest the organs and sell them on an International black market. They all are now getting striped suntans from looking through out bars.
It seems, as someone else said, that being a successful donee depends on your being able to position yourself in the right place at the right time.
Interestingly, while doing research for the above paper, I found a case where a lady doctor in Kansas City, Kansas had a clinic where she dealt with low income patients. She had joined the Army Reserves because military service was a tradition in her family, never dreaming her unit would ever be activated. Along came Operation Desert Storm, and, yep, her unit was activated. She then faced the decision of abandoning her patients, or deserting from the Army Reserves. She chose to desert. The Army frowned on it, to be mild. The Army charged her with desertion and the Kansas medical authorities pulled her license to practice medicine. The case was still ongoing when I wrote the paper and I never did hear the outcome. But, I'm sure the lady paid dearly for making the wrong choice.
