Can a heart be donated more than once. Say if the person that got the transplant died could the heart go on to another person?

I think transplanted organs are not generally re-transplanted into another patient (if the first dies). Simply since the organ has already been put under a lot of pressure being moved from the donor to the first recipient - there's a higher risk of failure if it were transplanted again. And there's the possibility that the organ could be getting quite old by that time. Depending on how long the first recipient lived, the organ could also have been subjected to a lot of immunosuppressive drugs, which can compromise it's ability to work over a long period.

What are the responsibilities of the guarantor on an apartment lease?
A guarantor is someone who has agreed to be legally bound to pay certain debts of another person if that other person does not, for any reason, pay his or her own debts. A guarantor of an apartment lease will be liable for the rent not paid by the tenant, as well as for any damage done and repairs not made by the tenant.

Antibodies can cause rejection of the donor organ/ tissue within minutes if the person receiving the organ already had antibodies against the donor.
