Maybe I'm being unfair. I would feel more charitable if I saw a concerted effort to warn potential living donors of the risks they get themselves into. There is virtually no such effort and I believe this leads at least some well-meaning people to make a life-changing decision with less than complete information. And that is what I think is the most unfair thing, the greatest injustice, of all. To deprive an independent adult from the freedom to make an informed decision about their own health. I'm speaking from personal experience again and this is probably coloring my views. In any case, since I will probably need kidney replacement therapy sooner or later I can say with certainty that both options, dialysis (both kinds) and transplant, just suck.
