Why would it create a bigger market? There's only a finite number of people who need transplants each year, why would that number increase? The demand would probably go down because the supply would be going up? You can't create a bigger market unless demand goes up.

Your logic is correct to some extent, but there are a lot of people who need organs and many that are not expendable. My uncle had to wait a good deal of time for a heart transplant. He ended up getting one from someone who died in a car accident.
Now if payment for organs was legal, it would probably be a good bit easier to slide some organs by that were not apprehended in the proper way to make some money. You would be very surprised what people will do for money.
