If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

This is very interesting. The donor who is highly motivated to give a transplant to his family member gets fulfillment and there is much higher chance of a good match. It is like in the distant past when if you gave blood for a family member, they could then receive blood of their own type for "free". I am sure the same kind of graph could have been drawn but since there ore only about eight types the graph would be fairly trivial. Good post as usual! Math saving lives!
I knew math could be useful for something other than "teaching".
