Ever wonder what is the nafka mina of deciding if secular people are
tinok sh'nishba or not? Here is a biggy. There is (apparently) a
machloket between Rav Kanyevski and Rav Edelstein if it is permitted to
donate a kidney if it may end up in someone secular. RK believes it
shouldn't be done because he paskens like Rav Elyashiv that no one today
has the din of tinok sh'nishba and therefore they shouldn't get this
type of help from the religious. RE paskens like the classic Chazon Ish
psak that today's secular people do have the tinok din and therefore it
is permitted to donate a kidney to a secular person.
See the article (Hebrew) for more details.
