    This isn’t a person across the street that you had no impact on, but one whose reliance on you was generated by you.

    By this reasoning if an EMT saves your life then they're obligated to give you a kidney if you need it

      Not really because your need of a kidney doesn't exist because of them. However it would create an interesting situation where if you crash into someone, you would be obligated to donate your organs to them.

          But that's a lot different from "you wouldn't need the kidney if they didn't steal your kidney"

          Most legal remedies involve someone losing some right due to their actions, so that another person can have their rights restored
