The organs for most transplants are taken from people whose hearts are still beating?
Those people are brain dead and are on life support machines which keep the heart and organs working. If that machine is turned off the persons heart would stop beating. So effectively they are dead but a machine keeps the heart going. If the person has signed the donor register and the next of kin agree then that heart is used to save someone elses life. This is of great comfort to the donors next of kin that they know their death was not in vain.
What else can I help you with?
Why do people have transplants?
people have transplants because their organs have problems there for they need new ones to help them survive or else they will die.
Can people transfer their hearts to other people?
Currently, it is not possible for people to transfer their hearts to other individuals. Heart transplants are performed using donor hearts from individuals who have a compatible blood type and tissue match with the recipient. The process involves surgical removal of the recipient's damaged heart and replacing it with a healthy donor heart.
What was the cause of most people dying?
Was, is and always will be that their hearts stop beating
Why are there not enough transplants for the number of people needing transplants?
This is most likely because of the special porcess to match up organs. Also, it has to do with the age people die. You can't donate a senior's organs. Also, the type of death has an influence. If someone dies of cancer, it's unsafe to donate organs. If someone is in a good health and died in a car accident/etc. then their organs might be suitable. The family has to agree on it too.
What tools are used in organ transplants?
well when i cut people open i use a spoon then i just rip their organs out. (: hope that helped
What are the most common organs needed for transplanting?
Some of the most common organs that people usually transplant include kidneys and hearts. People get these organs from relatives or some people who sign up before death.
Why are organ transplants done sometimes when people's hearts are beating?
Organ transplants should always be performed on the recipient when their heart is beating, otherwise the outcome of the operation is likely to be poor. The exception is heart transplants, when the heart has to be stopped momentarily in order for it to be grafted into the patient. But typically, it's necessary for the patient to have a heartbeat in order to sustain life.Sometimes organs are removed from the donors when their hearts are beating. These donors are referred to as having suffered "brain stem death", and are sometimes classified as "heart-beating donors".They have suffered irreparable damage to the brain stem, (where the brain attaches to your spine) which is where the brain controls vital actions such as breathing. Usually, this is the result of something such as a car crash, something heavy falling on their head, or sometimes meningitis.Without a ventilator, these donors would cease to have a heart-beat within minutes, due to lack of oxygen. From MRI images and other thorough medical checks, it is clear that these donors do not have any awareness of their surroundings, or any degree of conciousness. A number of stringent medical checks are made before organ donation is considered.Brain-stem death is not the same as a "coma", or a "persistent vegitative state", in which the patient may show some conciousness on an MRI or similar. The above are considered, to some extent, "reversible", whereas brain-stem death is not.To keep the organs in good condition the donor has to be ventilated (and have a heart-beat) until the organs are removed, to prevent the organs from degrading. This means that, to some extent, the donor will still appear pink and feel warm, even though they are, by definition and medical tests, dead.Non-heartbeating donors (sort of the opposite of "brain stem death" donors) usually die of something like a heart-attack - i.e anything which stops their heart from beating. Because of the lack of heartbeat and hence ventilation, organs have to be prepared and retrieved very quickly to prevent them from degrading. (Usually, the donor would have to die actually in a hospital for this to be achievable). Clearly, non-heartbeating donors are never used to provide heart-transplants.
Are harp seals useful?
They might be for wretched sealers, but for people with beating hearts, they are there to be taken care of and respected as if another person.
Why do people have organ transplant?
Organ transplants are the easiest to explain - people need these when their own organs have failed to prevent them from dying. Tissue transplants work on the sample principle, but the patient may simply be suffering or could use the extra boost to return to full health. Tissue transplants include corneas (which can restore sight to people legally blinded by glaucoma or corneal trauma), bone grafts (which are often used during complicated bone re-setting surgeries) and skin grafts (which can be used during reconstructive surgery or to treat burn patients).
Why are scientists researching stem cells?
Stem cells would be crucial in learning how to cure some genetic diseases and growing organs for people who need organ transplants.
Can deaf people hear their hearts beating?
Yes because they hear it inside themselves not outside, so it doesn't have to pass through their ears
Where do you get trinity limit in Kingdom Hearts?
u get trinity limit wen u get 2 level 70 or 75 Hi If you mean KH1 you get it after beating the Hades Cup. KH2, I think you get it after beating Pete in Timeless River.
