It's not about the kidney, it's about the person receiving the kidney. (Or not receiving it, when they first thought they would.)

I'm not taking a stance on the overall issue, but this is such a flawed comparison because a baby is dependent solely on the mother and not a large pool of potential donors.

Moreover, in this hypothetical, there's no indication that the donor made a choice that put the recipient in need of a kidney (whereas parents' engaging in sex predictably results in a child in need of birth--recall that we're not debating point-of-life at this point in the thread).
