What if you die as a result of complications from the kidney harvesting procedure? How is that fair or right?

I think a reasonable argument can be made that I should have taken that into account before doing something that destroyed their kidneys.
If I've wrongfully created a situation where either an innocent person will certainly die or I have a risk of dying (under 0.06% for kidney donation) how is it fair or right that they die?

It's unreasonable to take away people's bodily autonomy. Just.. no.

What if I deliberately poison someone in an attempt to murder them, but botch it so that instead of quickly killing them it just damages their kidneys to point that they will die without a transplant, and I'm the only compatible potential donor?
Wasn't my wrecking their kidneys a breach of their bodily autonomy? Why shouldn't I be required to give up some of my own bodily autonomy to reverse much of the damage I did to their bodily autonomy?
For instance suppose someone needs a kidney to save their life and I am the only possible donor and suppose the reason they need a kidney is that I deliberately and without their permission did something that I knew had a significant risk of leading to someone needing a kidney.
I don't know if I should be compelled in that case to give a kidney, but it seems reasonable for there to be legal pressure on me to do so (such as facing some kind of homicide charge if I do not on they die).
