This is the first thing everyone thinks about before donating a kidney, I think.
I think some questions to add to this list:
What if your kidney isn't compatible with that of your family member, and they'd have to rely on a stranger's donation? How would you then feel about never having donated in the past?
What if you donate your kidney to a parent, only to find that a year later your child needs your kidney?
What if you donate your kidney to a family member and they later end up ruining your life?
There are so many "what-if" scenarios possible. Ultimately I think it boils down to probabilities vs effectiveness.

Donation chains partially address this. But more importantly, donation now means you and your family get bumped up to the top of the list if needed later.
