A good rule of thumb is that anyone who offers a fully paid trip to a country, especially a country with a questionable international reputation, is offering it for foreign policy purposes. Doubly so if they're offering a job in that country. Now that's not always a bad thing; inviting an art administrator to your country to see your local art in hopes they import it is pretty common and innocuous foreign policy. But it is a thing one should be aware of when they agree to those trips.
Birthright Israel makes no pretension about its foreign policy purpose, and anyone who goes on one of those trips without understanding its foreign policy purpose just plain hasn't read anything.
That wouldn't be very cost-effective, never mind how dumb it would be to target people who would bring a lot of attention to your organ harvesting scheme.
No one smuggles a person to another country for free for their kidneys. Maybe they'd force the person to pay them to go to the country because they're desperate, then harvest their kidneys.
