It is rare, but it does happen that animal tissue is either implanted or used in such a way to replace an organ or machine temporarily to procure treatment or prolong survival. It is quite reasonable to assume that there is a much higher survival rate with human to human transplants than animal to human transplant, this is because the cells between humans are very similar however the cells from other species are drastically different.
There are many reasons why you should or should not use animal organs. One of the biggest dangers is that a virus would pass from animal to human much like a number of other viruses we have seen in the past.
The answer also depends on a certain factor. If the question was "Should humans use other animals for organ transplants now" it would have to be no. There are too many risks involved and not enough testing. When the first human transplants took place a lot of lives were saved but a lot more lives were lost due to the lack of information.
In the future however this may become a viable option, organs may be able to be taken from animals. The question you proposed though is 'should'.
This depends on the ethical concerns of taking something from someone else without permission, but an animal cannot give permission. One of the oldest philosophies in the world is to, "Eat what you Kill." That doesn't necessarily mean animals, it can also mean plants as well. If we were to use that philosophy, then as long as the animal didn't suffer and we consumed it, then there is no reason not to use the organ for transplant, in fact it would be more ethical to use the organ as it would last longer rather than eating it.
Animal rights however shouldn't be taken lightly, there are a lot of others out there who believe that animals should not be abused in this manner and there are a lot of points that could be made about this. For instance, animals are of lesser intelligence, would you take a favorite toy from a child merely because you wanted to play with it? Crude but the point is simple yet brings another point to the surface.
The question you'll really want to ask yourself is, "Is your life, worth more than the animals." Because eventually that is all this will boil down to.

All of them.
well for one, they are different species and so will have their bodies build up in a different way to our own. 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.
Answer: The purpose of an organ transplant is to replace any vital organ not functioning and help revive (partial transplant)/make survival possible by donor organ.
An appendix
are you against or for organ transplant cause i wanna know its for a science project
It is when a major organ is removed from the body and a replacement fitted or transplanted. Such as a heart transplant.
Organ failure.
organ rejection
To find out if you are on the waiting list for an organ transplant, talk to the transplant coordinator at the hospital that your are registered with. If you wish to find out if you are a registered organ donor (in the UK), look at www.organdonation.nhs.uk/
you should because if you need a transplant, your clone could donate blood or an organ to you.
