Because if you have an organ that doesn't exactly match the recipient's than it will get regected because the body knows that the organ is not its own but in some cases an organ will take because the body cant tell a difference so

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.

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 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.


If a donor recipient dies can the organ be re used?

Usually the donor's transplanted organ is not transplanted again - it puts a lot of stress on the organ. And depending on how long the donor recipient has been on immuno-suppression for, some of the other organs may not be used (it can affect the kidneys a lot).
