The Ethicist - Kidney Punch

The Ethicist - Kidney Punch - NYTimes.com: "My father-in-law suffers from chronic kidney disease and expects to need a transplant in the not-too-distant future. He does not wish either of his adult children or me to donate a kidney, on the grounds that even in our late 30s, we are too young and might need our other kidney at some point down the road. Instead, he plans to add his name to the recipient list and wait his turn. May we ignore his wishes and anonymously donate a kidney when the time comes?"
