Not currently, however it's still being researched. At the moment, the cells can be cloned, but do not grow to full size organs. That's probably 7-10 years away for livers and slightly longer for most other organs (since livers are only made of one type of cell, and are not required to "beat" like a heart).
What else can I help you with?
Is it a good idea to use cloned humans for organ transplants?
The prospect of using cloned humans for organs is only a science fiction fantasy. There are far too many ethical constraints that hinder this idea from being implemented. It is illegal to clone humans in many countries around the world. Although it may be technologically possible to clone humans for the purpose of harvesting organs in next 50 - 60 years, whether it will be considered ethical or not is the real question. Is it possible? maybe Is it a good idea? No On the other hand ethics depend on the society in which you live so it may be a good idea Answer If you cloned a human being, they would then be a human being. You would need their permission to use their organs and then you could only use ones that would not cause the cloned human to die or you would be committing murder.

Possibly organs, not completely sure. They probably just use the words plant and transplant to trick you.
What is the proces of using animal organs for transplants in humans?
The theory of using animal organs in human transplants is called Xenotransplantation. (Whereas using human organs in human transplants is called Allotransplantation). Xenotransplants are incredibly rare, since the outcomes are nowhere near as good as allotransplants, and the risks are far greater.
How organs are kept alive during transplants?

Should transplants happen?
They already happen, so clearly social consensus is that "they should happen". Otherwise transplants would not be happening. Also, those who donate their organs are clearly in favor of organ transplants happening.
Can animal organs be used for transplants?
None unless they have been genetically modified to be suitable - the organs are 'humanised'. Then, it is primarily pigs that are used.
Are there enough organs available for transplants?
Not enough for everybody waiting for a transplant to receive one.
Can organs be cloned for use in plants?
If, by 'plants' you mean the green things that generally live outdoors, then they don't actually need human organs. If you mean 'plants' in a 'laboratory' kind of way, then the techniques are still being practiced and refined.
Does a forensic scientist have health benefits?
They seem to have an inside track on organs transplants for some reason.
