I would run this in the following way. Provided that you had a
reliable fence (unscrupulous Street Doc contact would probably serve
nicely), you could go out and collect random body parts. You could then
fence them off to the Doc at the standard 30% (negotiable) of their list
cost. For the prices of secondhand limbs/organs/etc, look in the SRII
rulebook in the limb loss section of the chapter on taking damage.
There's even a handy little table...
Taking things a step further, you could probably have street
indices for various organs, since some may be harder to
obtain/preserve/clone (a la the "spine-thieves" from Gunnm/Battle Angel
Alita).
Word of advice, though. Don't get caught with a garbage bag full
of spare arms and legs in your car. The authorities are not very
understanding, I'm afraid...
