You don't actively kill somebody to save your life (excluding war and defense crime scenarios).

If you have a distribution system which fairly decides which patient gets a transplant I'm strongly against the option to bribe somebody to get an organ sooner (and harming in that way another human being).

If you want to save your family lives with actively or inactively harming other people your 'moral compass' is seriously screwed up.
