Answer

Shalom Rav,

This requires halachic approval and supervision by the great poskim of our generation.

I do not think this is the case at the moment.

These are decisions involving murder on one side [from the donor's side], and saving a life on the other side [from the recipient's side]. Not every rabbi can issue rulings on such a weighty matter.
