Should we kill healthy people for their organs?

Suppose Bill is a healthy man without family or loved ones. Would it be ok painlessly to kill him if his organs would save five people, one of whom needs a heart, another a kidney, and so on? If not, why not?

Consider another case: you and six others are kidnapped, and the kidnapper somehow persuades you that if you shoot dead one of the other hostages, he will set the remaining five free, whereas if you do not, he will shoot all six. (Either way, he'll release you.)

No, who are we to decide who lives and who dies, we allhave the right to live. If it were my kids iI would want him to give it up but again that is his right to live. We do not morally posess the right to condem another man todeath because someone is in need.

I don't agree with this unless the person does it by their own free will.
If you just go around killing people for the "better good" what is that saying to everyone?
That killing 'healthy' people is ok as long as it saves someone else?
And what if people began to abuse this by killing people and saying "Well, I needed their healthy organs"
Also if I had to shoot someone why would I not just shoot the kidnapper?
I have a gun and even if theres more of them I still kill one of the 'bad guys' right?

No, we should never have a say in whether or not someone should die regardless of their physical or mental state. That is their choice to make (though I amend this thought when it comes to the death penalty for war criminals and such)

They have the right to choose whether or not they want to save people by using their own organs.
We do not have the right to control them and tell them when or how they will die even if it's to
save other people.

I agree with you guys. I think if the people volunteer to be killed and save the lives then it is right, but we shouldn't be able to just take someones life because we say so.

I also disagree with this, if it is my time to die then he will kill me, i will not sacrifice your life to save my own. However I will sacrifice my own life to save yours, I was never permitted to join the US armed forces but i wish i had been, i am not selfish i believe we all deserve a chance to live, i will not have on my conscience that you are passed away and i get to live for it no sir.

I honestly do not think this should be allowed.
It's basically allowed murder, which is a ridiculous concept.

Who would allow themselves to be murdered?

I think everyone here just about summed up my position on this question. I don't think anyone has the right to take away our most precious gift that is life.. If he were to VOLUNTEER, then I think it's okay..

To save the other people. Them being killed saves the other 6. Just a concept
