Should we kill healthy people for their organs?
 

See Below and discuss.... Enjoy

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.)
If in this case you should kill one to save five, why not in the previous, organs case? If in this case too you have qualms, consider yet another: you're in the cab of a runaway tram and see five people tied to the track ahead. You have the option of sending the tram on to the track forking off to the left, on which only one person is tied. Surely you should send the tram left, killing one to save five.
But then why not kill Bill?

Those are all situations where someone is forceing you to make the choice and giving you the power of live of die.

In real life however no one has the ability or power to grant someone the power of life or death.

Whats Bill ever done to you anyway??? Poor Bill.

it's all about choice!
To kill or not to kill
To kill Bill is murder, without question!
In the kidnapping & tram cases it is far more difficult, however your forgetting that there is always more than two choices in every situation, they are not always so obvious. An example - Stop the tram in anyway that you can.

Killing anybody is murder, whether in self defence or not. So no, It is not right to kill somebody for there organs.
