Trust me, if Hashem can revive the dead, he can supply those who donated an
organ with a spare in the World to Come.

I have 2 comments: 1. I have heard similar sentiments regarding organ donation 
after death (not live cases like a kidney)...... namely that we need the organ 
for ourselves in the World to Come. Are these sentiments based in 
halacha/kaballah/ or other Torah sources?
2. Just because God can supply people with organs after Techiyat Hameitim, it 
doesn't mean that He necessarily will......for example......He can bring 
Moshiach Now, but thus far He has chosen not to.....HB
