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.

Even the disclaimers can be overridden if it can be shown gross negligence on the part of the hospital. Besides, the only law you would need could be one that would not allow hospitals to require such a disclaimer.
I think you are making way too much out of this.
