It just requires immediate global change from our capitalist overlords who are currently busy consolidating wealth and power likes we're in a dystopian novel.

Where they reluctant to let you do it and why did you do it? What gain is there for you? Even if minimal, ie. spiritual gain, or satisfaction that you know you helped someone.
There's quite a bit of ethic issues that arise from non directed donation that folks wouldn't think exists. You'd think providers would be happy to have volunteers but that's not the case.
There was someone on reddit who made an AMA about it and I feel they shouldn't have been allowed to do it based on the rules of being excluded if you desire to do it for attention since it seemed to indirectly related to attention seeking.

The National Kidney Registry will let you designate 5 people to get "vouchers" that put them at the top of the list if they later need one. I donated to a stranger in September and my parents, wife, and kids all have vouchers if they need a kidney someday.

This was my experience too, I went all the way through one organization and got up to donation day only for some last minute blood testing showing that my recipient has an infection. They were so slow on treating it and we decided to go through another organization closer to her home (I’m in CA while she is in AZ). The second organization fast-tracked us through the process (more testing in a smaller timeframe, first time around took months while second time took 2 weeks) due to my prior approval. Had a date for the surgery scheduled in a month.

Everyone should automatically have their organs harvested when they die and if you don’t want to donate (or receive) organs then you should have to carry a card around with you. By choosing not to donate, you are choosing not to receive organs if you need them.

So why oh why isn’t the company called Toyoda? The founder’s name was Toyoda. All things considered, that would be a way better name.

My understanding is that if you get called, you'll go for additional testing and most people won't match or won't be the best match after additional testing.
I think less than 1 in 100 are asked to donate. But you never know if it'll be you!

52 is fine, just need to be healthy. If you've not heard back I'd look to contact transplant directly.

Tbf Toyota's supposed EV hesitancy isn't because they want to cling onto ICE cars, it's because they've sunk billions into Hydrogen cars and now they're in an awkward position where they're struggling to admit that they bet on the wrong horse.
