Perhaps, though I am sure the hospitals would rather just have the patients sign disclaimers for any potential liability, and given the choice of death without the transplant, I doubt too many patients would refuse.
Now I know that it is possible to create a set of laws to mitigate some of the abuse, but I just don't have the faith in the government to do so. Furthermore, I do think you are opening up a pandora's box when you put a profit motiff into organ donations.
