Make a hospital where it is legal and acceptable to randomly harvest one person's organs to save several other people's lives, etc. But it is voluntary admittance, so no fear of hospitals in general needs to propagate throughout the population as a result.
If you're in bad shape, you can go there,
and have a much higher chance of survival and overall increased utility, but you lose all of your minimum ensured levels of protection in exchange. More likely than not, you'll get better care, but you can also be harvested if it happens to work out best to choose you.

Where shall I begin? Ah, there's the vote against option, says it all really. |

I suspect that people entering such a hospital would be poor candidates for organ donation. |

Such an arrangement might work better for a brothel. It would have to be dark. |

I suppose this is no more illogical than any other manifestation of utilitarianism. (This is not a recommendation.)
Compulsory 'donation' of organs was suggested recently by the UK government. |
|

You sure that was the government... and
not the Archbishop of Canterbury
advocating the introduction of Sharia law? |

Trying to Sharia your organs with everyone, no doubt. If I understand the issue correctly. |
