Why not just label the organ collection a "tax", and say "Even if the tax burdens some people disproportionately, it helps people more than it harms people, and is therefore justified"?
Would that eliminate much of the remaining creepiness from Yvain's scenario? (It scarcely makes a difference to me, though others may differ.)
It does for me. "Tax" implies social acceptance in a way that "secret police" does not.
