That’s a very good idea, along with requirement to publish results in open access journals.
I’m currently finishing PhD in biomechanics, and while I didn’t do research on human tissue, colleagues at work did. The material data from testing the donated tissue is extremely important both in medicine (like atherosclerosis research, etc.) and in other areas, like creating better finite element models of human body, for example for numerical modeling of crash tests (resulting in safer cars for everyone). This for profit trading may discourage people from donating their bodies to scientific research.
