That would be a world in which no-one would got to hospital or trust a doctor for anything serious... Even going in for an organ transplant, you'd be more valuable dead and your functioning organs sent off to others...

How could there be any value in giving organs to others if those others won't trust a doctor for anything serious?

Precisely. The whole system would collapse.

But with no value in giving organs to others, the doctors would no longer have any reason to kill people for their organs.
