I'm not in favour of family connections meaning queues can be jumped.
Firstly, because who gets 'spare parts' should be determined solely by need (imho) - the *two* people who received this girl's kidneys needed them *now*, whereas the mother wasn't in the same urgent need and can continue to wait (presumably on dialysis, but still alive)
Secondly, because what is to stop someone 'suggesting' that someone "dies faster" or refuses treatment or other non-voluntary euthanasia-type pressures. I massively dislike this "saviour babies" thing of breeding solely to get a cure for a sibling, being able to determine where your bits went after you die is open to the same sort of abuse, with death being the factor rather than life.
