Besides, I wonder if there would be a huge increase in people selling viable organs.

Blood is not an organ. It is renewable. You don't grow a new kidney. There are no adverse health consequences for giving blood and no long term risks. Giving blood today doesn't mean that 10 years from now you could be living the rest of your life on dialysis (and most likely at public expense).
