According to the American Journal of Transplantation (2008 edition) there are 6,618 (living) organ donors.
The two types of organ donors are living donors, who donate organs while they are still alive (such as a kidney), and deceased donors, who donate organs after they have passed away (such as heart or liver).

Transplants from living donors generally have better outcomes compared to those from cadaver donors. Living donor transplants often result in improved graft survival rates and shorter waiting times, as the organs are typically healthier and better matched to the recipient. Additionally, living donors can undergo pre-operative assessments to ensure optimal organ function, which can further enhance transplant success. However, individual outcomes can vary based on numerous factors, including the type of organ transplanted and the recipient's health condition.

When an organ transplant is required organs can be sourced from cadavers (dead donors) or from living donors. Living organ donation OS possible because some organs are duplicated in the body (e.g. kidneys) and one of the two can be removed for transplant, and other organs (e.g. the liver) are able to regenerate in the donors body after a portion is removed for transplant. Being a living donor is not a matter to be taken lightly as surgical complications can lead to the death of the donor. In addition, in the case of the removal of a paired organ, the donor foreits his spare organ which might be required later in life. In either case the transplant does not ensure the recovery of the recipient.
