Exactly; there is no moral way to go about making that happen. No matter who you hand the keys to that kind of decision you can be sure of two things:

I'm pretty sure you'd be unhappy if the people making that choice turns out to be "people with more money". But that is a short-sighted view: Power is going to be abused, in whatever form it takes. Today it comes in the form of money; tomorrow it might take the form of deciding reproduction rights (eugenics, woo! /s).
