When one denounces an evil act only by their words...
...but profits from an evil act by their actions...
...then one is endorsing the evil act.

and also this:
RE: If the scientist uses the organ for his own purposes, he implicitly approves the actions of the provider of his source,
1) I am trying very hard to see the connection between using an already dead person’s organs to find cures for diseases with : a) Profiting from it ( as in making money off it instead of healing humanity ); b) approving the actions of the provider.
One can vehemently support the PUNISHMENT of anyone who kills an innocent person ( adult or fetus ), support laws that criminalizes abortion or harvesting of organs for selling like Planned Parenthood does, but still make use of an already deceased person’s organs to find cures for dreaded diseases. The person is dead — you can either bury the person, or make use of his organs to help humanity. If you make use of his organs, I don’t see how you are endorsing his murder. You never wanted, rejoiced or encouraged the murder. You can condemn and punish his murderer while still bring some good out of the alas, already done evil deed.
The Bible tells us that what matters are our SOUL and SPIRIT. Our body decays and will be rebirthed in the last day. Jesus said: “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing.” ( John 6:63 ).
2) Take the case of Medical Schools all over the country — they make use of dead people -— CADAVERS ( dead humans ) to study anatomy, identify disease sites, determine causes of death, and provide tissue to repair a defect in a living human being.
I have friends who are doctors who tell me that many of these cadavers were homeless victims of murders, drunk driving, etc.
What does that make of all Medical Schools? Profiteers from murder and drunk driving?
By your argument every single doctor who went to medical school were beneficiaries of evil or irresponsible acts and by your definition, endorsing the evil act.
How many people are outraged at the standard use of Cadavers for medical studies?
