In the UK, legally yes. These days (living) donors can be altruistic strangers, or friends / acquaintances of the recipient (whereas they used to have to be related to or married to the recipient).
However medically, no, because the donor would need to have a compatible blood group to the recipient. For kidney donation, tissue (HLA) matching is also necessary, which is a far stricter criteria than just blood group matching. In most cases, HLA matches will be related to the recipient, due to sharing of genetics.
For a living donation of part of a liver, the blood group matching is necessary, tissue matching is not, and the donor would need to be at least as big (if not bigger) than the recipient.
