Just be thankful you don't live in Canada, where the doctors refuse to accept unrelated, purely altruistic kidney donors, because in their omniscient opinion, they have not studied the matter sufficiently (they have been studying it now officially for more than a decade!) to determine if it should be acceptable or not. Paid donation is illegal because it is not idealistic enough; purely altruistic donation from unrelated donors is illegal because it is too idealistic. Go figure.
