Continuity mistake: When Ben is lying in the bath dying, he pulls down the shower curtain covering the note he has left on the floor for the doctors. When the scene changes then changes back to him in the bath, the shower curtain's position has moved. (01:49:00)
Continuity mistake: When Will Smith goes in the car with Emily, the seat headrest is down, but just before Emily kisses Will the headrest is up.
Factual error: The only ways Tim/Ben could have died are by heart failure and/or respiratory paralysis. Both of which mean that the toxins reached the heart. If they hadn't, then he would only have had a paralyzed right arm and been in extreme pain. The logic of this movie implies that either his heart was unaffected by the toxins and he still somehow died or his heart was affected by the toxins and they decided to transplant it anyways.
Ben Thomas: I haven't treated myself very well.
Emily Posa: Start now.

Answer: In the course of the film it's revealed that Ben has done extensive homework and taken drastic steps to find the right person, i.e. a "righteous good person" to give them what he has left to offer. Therefore, he would have to find someone with his own rare blood type AND needed a heart...which he eventually did.
