As far as I'm aware it is not yet possible to donate part of your heart to someone else as a living donor. A person needs a complete and fully-functioning heart to be healthy, and hearts do not have the capacity to regenerate themselves - both of these reasons would mean that attempting to donate part of one's heart would be incredibly risky to the health of the donor.

And even if the only people you help turn out to be complete strangers, still, they are part of the society in which you live. People should be willing to help other people, particularly in matters of life and death.
