A good sign for change to organ donation policy?

Virginia Postrel recently had two more good posts on the topic of organ donation, and the need radically change the status quo system (the system that is against allowing payments for organs, etc.). See this brief post, and even more so, see this post that includes a lengthy quote from At the recent pediatric nephrologist Richard N. Fine, MD, the outgoing president of the American Society of Transplantation, who at the recent World Transplant Congress 2006 called on his medical colleagues "to challenge prior prohibitions and enhance approaches that have heretofore been taboo to the transplant professional." I consider it a good sign that someone as prominent as this is publicly calling for this kind of change in organ donation policy.
