Why should organ donors be tested?
Because the donor might be suffering from a medical condition which would render the organ useless to the recipient, or which would infect the recipient with a disease which would cause illness or rejection of the organ. Transplant patients are at high risk of infection and other complications even with the best possible precautions and organ transplant is a delicate, lengthy and costly procedure; there is no point performing such a procedure if the donor organ might carry with it a health risk which could negate the entire process.
Can an organ donors family request money from the organ recipients?
You can not legally ask for money in exchange for an organ, under the rules governed by the International Transplantation Society. This applies to both before the organ is transplanted, and after the organ is transplanted, even if the recipient has to be retransplanted. This law is designed to eliminate illegal organ trading. However, technically the donor's family could request money from the recipient if it had nothing whatsoever to do with the transplant. For example, if the donor's family knew the recipient before the transplant, and the recipient happened to owe someone in the donor's family £10, it would be perfectly acceptable to ask for it back.
How ethical is the process of organ transplant?
It depends on each individual situation. I was 3 years old and would have died without a liver transplant. My mother donated the left lobe of her liver. If the donor is of a sound mind and willing to donate even after being informed of risks, it is ethical.
What is an allogenic transplant?
An "allogenic" transplant is a human-to-human transplant. (A "xenogenic" transplant would be animal-to-human).
Can you receive an organ transplant from just anybody?
Yes, because when you need a transplant your sick. You can only get a transplant if you need it.No I just found out you can't. If you were sick and you got a new organ that wasn't used to your body, that would be double the trouble. why? Because The bacteria from you being sick would affect your new organ. also it would be doubled bad because your other body parts (Around the new organ) would think that the new organ was trying to talk over you body. so they would attack the organ. but most people take medicine for that but they have to take it for the rest of there lives.
Which transplant method would prevent the rejection of tissue after an organ transplant?

Do you have to wait until you are on a liver transplant list to get a living donor liver transplant?
Part of the reason for being placed on a "transplant list" is to wait until a matching donor is found. At that point, the donor is an unknown, only a possibility. However, if you can find a willing person and if the test results match compatibility with your tissues and blood type, then the "waiting list" is not needed. Your next obstacle would be to have insurance willing to pay. With all of those factors met, you'd have the transplant.
Are there moral dilemmas associated with organ transplantation and procurement?
There are indeed. Judging 'death' is a difficult and contentious issue with organ donors - particularly 'brainstem death'. Also if the potential donor has not made their wishes made (whether to be a donor or not), their next of kin have to guess at what they would have wanted. That can be problematic. With transplanation, you have to list people by some kind of criteria as to "who should get the next available organ?" which is morally challenging (luckily the guidelines are strict, but coming up with those guidlines must be challenging). Also, if the transplant does not work, there is the issue as to whether they should be relisted for a transplant or not, since there's not enough organs to go around.
Can you remove yourself from the NHS organ donor list?
Yes. Why would you want to though?
Why is it harder for a doctor to transplant an organ system than an organ?
they would have more trouble transplanting an organ system because an organ system is composed of more things than just one organ and blood vessels that go to it.
Is dog to human testicle transplant possible?
No. Your immune system would attack the foreign organ.
