I don't think so.

The husband is at first convinced that he got Sophie Thiessen, who is lying about being her daughter and is in denial about her being the daughter while he can plausibly deny it, once it's undeniable that he got the wrong person, he is no longer okay with going through the plan, because he thinks Sophie is dead, he saw her being shot, so it's no longer a case of, her mother can just give the years back to sophie, so it's a kind of victimless crime.
This to me is inline with the character, as we can see him argue the merits of his job this his father-in-law who is criticizing him, but later during the standoff he reveals he was fully cognizant of the fact that of how he was exploiting the poor as a donation manager, but maybe as he was convincing others of selling their youth, he was also convincing himself that he is doing good for these people.
The woman protagonist (forgot her name), on the other hand is against using the daughter or at least on the edge, that is until she tries to kill her, it's when she realizes she is not the young innocent woman she thought she was.
I don't really have an issue with where their morality lands, but moreso how quickly and extremely it changes. The characters feel like their morality is assigned to them rather than developed.

Why would the daughter shoot the woman protagonist? They were very clearly being not hostile to her, and there was a very high likelihood of her being shot if she didn't escape with them. I would say the daughter's (Marie?) character is also sloppily implemented.spoiler
why would she be shot? she was being rescued, though what I found sloppy is that she just followed them, and didn't try to run away at that point, that makes her pulling the trigger weird.
spoiler
There were still plenty of anti-donation forces around that already attempted to shoot the protagonists. I assume they wouldn't hesitate to shoot her just like they wouldn't (and didn't) hesitate to shoot her mother.
spoiler
well they said they don't kill innocent people randomly, didn't they? so there is really no reason any of them would harm her
