Comment on Is there a reason I should donate a kidney to a stranger now, rather than just waiting till I die, at which point both kidneys will probably be donated to strangers anyway?

But as OP points out, someone will get that kidney eventually anyway. So the difference is that a different someone else gets to continue existing.

OP erroneously thought that but it’s not actually correct. The conditions where someone dies but their kidney is viable for a transplant are rare.
