They would only be funded if the outcome was expected to be favorable. (Since they are very expensive, there has to be a reasonable expectation of a good outcome.) To be put on the transplant waiting list in the UK, there has to be a 50% or higher expectation of the patient being alive in 5 years. If the probability falls below 50%, the patient is removed from the waiting list.

Organ transplant that have been successfully since1990?
Most (common) transplants have been considered 'successful' since 1990. Ciclosporin (the first good immunosuppressant) was approved for use in 1983. From then on, success rates all improved dramatically.
How dangerous are organ transplants?
They are relatively safe. (The NHS or your local health authority would not fund transplants if they were very unsafe - i.e had bad outcomes. Transplants are quite expensive, but most hospitals/health authorities consider the cost "worth it"- i.e they will fund the operation. This indicates that transplants are not 'high risk'- i.e risk does not outweigh the cost). Obviously, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks attached.
Why do people have organ transplant?
Organ transplants are the easiest to explain - people need these when their own organs have failed to prevent them from dying. Tissue transplants work on the sample principle, but the patient may simply be suffering or could use the extra boost to return to full health. Tissue transplants include corneas (which can restore sight to people legally blinded by glaucoma or corneal trauma), bone grafts (which are often used during complicated bone re-setting surgeries) and skin grafts (which can be used during reconstructive surgery or to treat burn patients).
Is a universal blood donor also a universal organ donor?
No. The blood type is one factor considered in matching transplant donors and recipients in some transplants. Most types of transplant use another system of tissue typing.
What is the use of resources and machinery to produce goods and services?
good
The Assyrians made good use of their local resources?
Yes
Why have many churches chosen to use CD music instead of organ player?
Probably because it is hard to find a good organ player and/or the church can't afford to buy a nice organ.
Why aren't all organ transplants successful?
Because the tissues of the donated organ have to match those of the patient. Not all tissue types are compatible with each other, and if they are not, then the body just rejects the donated organ and cannot use it. Modern pathology testing can go some way towards assessing beforehand if an organ is compatible with the recipient, but there are still occasions when donated organs are rejected for reasons that nobody understands. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that the patient faces death- often the organ will work a bit, not as it should do but for long enough for another donor organ to be found that WILL work.
Is it good to use non renewable resources?
Yes, if you need it bad enough.
What word describes ''use resources carefully''?
