I think you are making way too much out of this.

Gross negligence is fine, but if they are not liable for the source of the organ, then they couldn't be sued for it. I am sure they would still do some testing to make sure that the organ is decent, but that would not discourage people from trying to secure the organs anyway possible.
Perhaps I am making too much, I just don't like the commercialization of the human body. Yes, I know that this is a losing battle, but I think this is another line once crossed will lead to the continuing down a path I do not particularly like. This dislike is much broader that this topic. It includes being able to get copyrights on human DNA, cells, and other such "advances".
