What are the advantages and disadvantages of using animals as organ donors for humans should humans ues other animals for organ transplants?

Generally they're not used, since animal organs are not similar to human organs, so are not suitable for maintaining function within the human body. In very rare circumstances they are used to try and bridge a gap until a human organ becomes available. They are never used as a long term solution (because they do not work long term). Whether they should be used or not is practically irrelevant, since they cannot be used as a long term solution.

What are the disadvatges of using animals as organ donors for humans?

The potential for organ failure or rejection will be much higher that same species transplant. I know that certain pieces of organs can be used in humans but most organs differ from species to species to be incompatible as a subtitute. Bovine heart valves are compatible to humans to allow transplant of the valve, but not the entire heart.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using animals as organ donors for humans should humans use other animals for organ transplants?

The advantages with using animal organs for transplants to human's (xenotransplantation) are that humans that are in need of an organ, will not have to wait as long. People who are on the donor list have to wait a long time for the organ they need, as blood type, size and the death of someone willing to donate their organs, need to be beared in mind. Hope this helps

How many Organ Donors are in America?

In the UK around 10% of people sign up to be organ donors (for when they die). However even if the person does not elect to be an organ donor whilst they are alive, their relatives/next of kin can choose for them when they die. This keeps organ donation rate around 10% (since all those who personally elect to be organ donors, very few actually become organ donors since they have to die in the right way to be suitable. i.e. on a ventilator, preferably with an incurable head injury) .
