1. No one should die for want of a kidney transplant.
2. No one needs two kidneys.
3. We must tax the surplus to redress the want.

Re: right thing to do

There are two possibilities here. If man is finite, an infinite universe will replicate him in the fullness of time. In fact, it will always already have done so infinitely many times. On the other hand, if man is infinite, death is not his end. In either case, as John Silber once put it, “When you’ve had a long life, and you’re ripe, it’s time to go.”
