A type of donor-ship contract for your wetware, based on a market for
organs, pre-matching, and satisfying conditions of exchange, to get selling
of organs pay for cryo-preservation of the heads or just brains.
In principle, this would be a service that works closely with cryonics service
providers,
like cryonics.org, alcor.org, etc., and hospitals that need organ
transplants, merging the markets for neuro-cryonics, and organs for
transplantation...

situation where their organs can be harvested for
donation, unfortunately. |

Currently yes, but that easily can be changed. |

Precisely. It needs to be done while the body is still functioning, to give the best chance of revival. Do a controlled shutdown, harvest organs, discard any faulty ones, freeze the core components for later revivification. |

Unfortunately there are far to many "ethics committees", meddling politicians, and worthless, misguided religious adherents in many places to allow the work to be rapidly and efficiently progressed, |

Thankyou, but we have an extensive stock of surplus units; we have no need of them. We also have our own highly efficient stasis facilities, should they be required. |

You could make a movie about this. You could call it "Donor of the Dead". |
