HaShem should bless this extraordinary man and his family DOUBLY !!!
At least !
Why is donating organs acceptable in Halacha but donating organs after a death cv is not?
I, too, am a double living organ donor: I donated the right lobe of my liver in Feb 2019 to a woman I met on a plane to Spain in 1983 (and never saw again until shortly before our surgeries), and altruistically donated my left kidney to an anonymous recipient in New York last Tax Day (04-15-21)!
