I don't see a moral problem, if this saves a life, poses only a small
risk to the donor (most people don't end up losing function in a kidney,
so one really is spare), and the kidney wouldn't have gone to someone
else so that you have to ask about the relative color of blood.

Is there no ethical problem with a wealthy person having a better chance at surviving a disease because of his wealth? Shouldn't health care be blind to wealth?
