... I'm a little uncomfortable with the language here... I'm not sure I like the use of the word "harvest" here...

The term "harvest" is commonly used when referring to the procurement of organs and tissues from the dead.  I don't personally find it disturbing or distressing; but each person's tolerance for the . . . peculiar is likely to vary.

Eh, it's probably just my brain going to weird places.  I'm imagining some sort of weird machine dashing through a crowded subway station on long thin mechanical spider legs slashing people's heads off and catching the blood-splattering orbs with rusty pincers as the bodies crumple behind it.  The people don't say anything or try to avoid it, just so much mindless wheat to be harvested to the sleek and creaking machine...

... Ok, maybe my muse is just on over-drive today when it comes to the odd imagery...

Sounds like a good idea for a story.

There are a lot of things you can harvest if you get creative.
