if the person who donated the body doesn't have the same blood type as the person who is receiving the organ, then the body will most likely not accept it

Does organ donations kill people?

While it's possible, in spite of exhaustive pre-testing, that the recipient's body rejects a donated organ and the result is fatal, the opposite is more often the truth -- donated organs most often save lives.


DO they have special medicines for the organ transplant?

Many. They have special fluids which are flushed through the organs whilst they are being removed from the donor, to enable them to stay 'fresh' for longer. Also, they have a category of medicines called "immunosuppressants", which 99.9% of all organ recipients will use (permenently) after transplant. They are designed to prevent the recipients' antibodies from attacking the donated organ. This happens since the donated organ has different DNA to the recipient's body (unless the organ has been taken from a recipient's identical twin); when you implant different DNA into a person's body, the bodies' natural response is to try to 'kill it off', in a similar way to how a person's immune system kills of cold and 'flu germs. This reaction is called 'rejection', which can lead to failure of the transplanted organ. However 'immunosuppressants' are designed to stop organ rejection from happening, by making the bodies immune system slightly less efficient, so that it doesn't notice the new DNA. Immunosuppressants are quite effective at this.


Why was the Buckingham fountain donated to Chicago?

Because that's where it was built in 1927, and Chicago as we know it today grew around it. If it had been built in Boston, it would have been 'donated' to Boston. If it had been built in Atlanta, it would have been 'donated' to Atlanta. Any more dumb questions?
