Living non-directed (LND) donors, also known as altruistic, good Samaritan, anonymous, or benevolent community donors, are a new and rapidly growing source of solid organs for transplantation. 1–6 The willingness of individuals to donate organs without a designated recipient has been unexpected, but has probably developed as a societal response to the growing crisis in organ availability. In the context of this shortage, health professionals have attempted to make the best use of kidneys from LND donors. We present a novel application of paired donation that has the potential to multiply the number of recipients who can benefit from each LND donation.At present, there is no universally accepted system for allocation of organs from LND donors. Selection of recipients has been at the discretion of the transplant centres where LND donors have presented and has generally been guided by one of three models: donorcentric, recipient-centric, or sociocentric allocation. 7 Each of these models is supported by valid ethical
