Several of Larry Niven's books involved the market for transplant organs in the future. More and more crimes were assigned the death penalty, cryogenic freezers were raided for parts, and a black market for murders fueled "organleggers".
Niven recently made the news suggesting (hopefully tongue in cheek, but probably not) that rumors in Spanish be started that hospitals were stealing illegal immigrants' organs, to discourage them from going.
