Honestly?

If there was an insurance where I could sign up and they'd optionally harvest my organs if they'd find a really lopsided situation like "save those other three people and you're a really good bodytype match", I'd sign up for that if it gave me better expected lifetime than regular approaches. - Just because it's taboo, doesn't mean it's bad. Just because you consider it absurd doesn't mean that others would.

Well the piece says "torture someone" not "torture someone who has agreed to this torture because he himself wants what's best for the world." If the latter was the case I'd be fine with it. I'd also be fine with your insurance scheme as long as it is not mandatory.
