As I understand it, this will also help other people. Since the more people who join the registry or donate to it, the higher the chance that some other patient will find a match. If it takes some people plastering the web, so be it. In fact everyone, not just South Asians, should can use this opportunity to get on the registry.

First and foremost, I think this is a good cause,so please don't take this as a negative against the goal.

Second, I have not read the rules for donating/being on the reigstry so I may be jumping the gun and having a preconceived notion that doesn't hold true.

But there's assumption of the number of people who would help someone else if they were found a match as opposed to simply helping out Amit. If they are on the registry and do match someone else are they required to do the donation at that point? Unlike blood donation, the bone marrow is a just in time donation (if I understand it correctly). This puts it in a different category.

Again, I think this is a good idea and I hope those that are putting their names on the registry are doing so for the belief of doing good for all, not just for one.
