Actually, here's one for you lynx. Say a close relative contracted a medically incurable condition that was imminently life threatening. You, by some form of bizarre providence are the only match for them to have a kidney transplant, the only procedure that will save them from a premature death. Would you reject their request for an organ that you can quite reasonably spare?
Then again, we are all probably a match for someone.
Under recent legislation, you can donate a kidney to a complete stranger if you want to.
As far as I can see, every ethical and moral argument points to donating, and thereby saving a life with an organ that, to most of us, is basically a spare. I can't think of any convincing reasons at all against doing it.

On the other hand, I haven't done it.
