I'm not happy with it myself. The ethics that is.
I think that positive consent should be required. If you had an unconscious person in hospital with no known relatives - would you feel it ok to enter them in a drug trial? probably not. Of course this is to some extent a "bullshit analogy" (if you'll pardon my language).
...so yeah, IMHO it's probably not ok to do this with dead people either. After all - if the hospital profits from selling the bodies, where is their incentive to find relatives? And we all know that some Chinese hospitals are cash strapped.
I'm worried about your US laws also. Are you saying that they can use your organs if you're found but can't be identified? I'm ok with organ donation - but I reckon we need maintain strong safegaurds.
