They aren't necessarily better, but immunosuppressive drugs are not needed afterward - that's always a benefit.
Blood type is significant in determining compatibility for organ transplants because the recipient's immune system can reject an organ if the blood types of the donor and recipient are not compatible. Matching blood types helps reduce the risk of rejection and increases the chances of a successful transplant.
Solid organ transplants, such as heart, lung, and kidney transplants, are most likely to be rejected by the recipient due to differences in human leukocyte antigens (HLA) between donor and recipient. Skin grafts are also commonly rejected as they are highly immunogenic.
Organ transplants do not affect the results of genetic tests because the DNA in the transplanted organ is from the donor, not the recipient. Genetic tests still accurately reflect the recipient's genetic information.
No. In spite of better tissue matching , more organ availabilty , and better surgical techniques and anti-rejection drugs, there are still failures.
erm the doctor
Yes, if the twins are 100% identical.
yes
Yes. Blood, sexual fluids, and organ transplants all transmit HIV.

something?
The three major organ transplants are Heart,Kidney and Liver.
It's a case of removing an organ that no longer funcions and replacing it with a similar organ that (hopefully) does function (either 'functions correctly' or at least 'functions better than the previous organ'). Obviously with a lot of post-transplant medication afterwards.
