It's a basic supply and demand problem.
We just need to increase the supply.
There are creative solutions to accomplish that.

I have to wonder how many body parts wind up on the black market.

I know it exists, but I don't think anyone can know the extent to which harvested organs are provided to paying customers.

With a market value of $200,000, kidneys are the most sought-after
organs trafficked on the black market due to their high demand and
the relatively simple surgical procedure for transplantation. In countries
like India and China, the prices are significantly lower, with kidneys
fetching around $20,000 and $40,000 respectively. However, the donor
often receives only a fraction of this amount, ranging from $1,000 to
$10,000.

if the illegal human organ black market is anything like the illegal fireworks black market, I'm sure it's thriving in Hawaii.
