Interesting idea, I really like it. Who were going to be the donors for this event?
I really thought that the kidney recipient and their family and friends should be the ones making the donations though. The idea is to get around a gap in the market; you can’t “buy a kidney”.
But
I don’t know how legal “donate in anticipation of a kidney’ is either
Maybe this would squick people’s ‘unfairness’ concerns anyway? (E.g., ‘1%-ers can now buy a kidney indirectly, middle class Americans cannot’)
… the fact that the 1% would also be helping many more people with their donation gets lost in that conversation

I was mostly thinking friends and family, but I was hoping the novelty factor could spread it to local communities
Wow yeah I have a feeling you’d get your name down in case-law either way.
