Combine this with suicide being made legal, and I see an awesome side benefit. Currently, people who commit suicide are seen as wrong, a detriment to the system, the bodies left behind scarring people, and so forth.

Imagine despairing of life and wanting to end it, and finding out you could volunteer for a euthanasia program in which all your organs would be donated to people in need. And no one would suffer the trauma of finding your body.
