or sell the rights to the organs of dead family members, if they chose.

That could be a tad dangerous. A family member short of cash could get ideas...

Yes, especially in some families.

Sowell has long argued that if one cannot sell his own body organs, he is obviously not free.

So what? If John kills Joe for his organs, that would be no more immoral than John's killing Joe for, say, his car. Yet the idea of making the sale of Joe's car illegal to prevent John from committing murder would be silly. So, why should the sale of his body parts be any different?

And if Joe is already dead, then he doesn't need those organs any more, anyway.
