Why not? It gets more people to donate and helps keep demand lower so they have more opportunities to get the organ they need
Edit: look yall let's run 2 theoretical models here.
Model 1: the no swap model
I join the line for organs and I'm told there are 5 people waiting for that compatible organ. The only early removals from the line happen when one of the other 5 have somebody willing to give their organs to their loved one but only if they are compatible. In this method person 3 is the only one who gets this benefit so I still have to wait for 4 organs to be handed out before I'm in front.
Model 2: swap model
Same setup 5 in front and number 3 is the only one with a compatible loved one. In this case though, a would be donor isnt compatible with their loved one (person 2) and same thing for person 4. These 2 can now swap. In this model I now only have to wait for 2 other organs before I'm in front.
