What are the advantages and disadvantages of using animals as organ donors for humans should humans ues other animals for organ transplants?
Generally they're not used, since animal organs are not similar to human organs, so are not suitable for maintaining function within the human body.
In very rare circumstances they are used to try and bridge a gap until a human organ becomes available. They are never used as a long term solution (because they do not work long term).
Whether they should be used or not is practically irrelevant, since they cannot be used as a long term solution.

What are the advantages of using animals for transplants?
Xenotransplantation can help save lives as there is a shortage of human donors, but is it right to kill the animals for organs?
Do transplants from living donors and cadaver donors have the same outcome?
Transplants from living donors generally have better outcomes compared to those from cadaver donors. Living donor transplants often result in improved graft survival rates and shorter waiting times, as the organs are typically healthier and better matched to the recipient. Additionally, living donors can undergo pre-operative assessments to ensure optimal organ function, which can further enhance transplant success. However, individual outcomes can vary based on numerous factors, including the type of organ transplanted and the recipient's health condition.
Why were there more organ transplants then donors?
The discrepancy between organ transplants and available donors is primarily due to a higher demand for organs than the supply. Factors contributing to this include an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and kidney failure, which heighten the need for transplants. Additionally, not all potential donors can be used due to medical or logistical reasons, leading to a significant gap between those in need of transplants and the number of viable organs available. Efforts to raise awareness and improve donor registration are ongoing to help bridge this gap.
Identify or show graph the number of donors?
The graph hows that from 1995 - 2004, the number of donors has decreased, as has the number of transplants being carried out; the number of people needing transplants however, has significantly increased. This means that there is an in balance between the number of organs available for transplant and the number of organ donors, which means that there will obviously not be enough organs to provide each, or even most of those on the transplant list (in need of an organ) with the organ that they need.
What type of donors are accepted for kidney transplant?
Kidney transplants accept two main types of donors: living donors and deceased donors. Living donors can be relatives, friends, or even altruistic individuals who voluntarily donate one of their kidneys. Deceased donors are individuals who have passed away and whose organs are suitable for transplantation, typically after brain death has been declared. Both types of donors must meet specific medical criteria to ensure the safety and compatibility of the transplant.
What is hospitals are linked by computer networks how do you think this makes organ transplantion easier?
It'll make it easier to match donors to patients needing transplants.
How many transplants were performed in 2009 using kidneys from deseased donors?

Who are stem cell transplants safe for?
Stem cell transplants are generally safe for patients with certain types of blood disorders, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Individuals who undergo stem cell transplants must meet specific health criteria and be evaluated for potential risks and benefits by their healthcare team.
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR more organ transplantsts then donors?
The demand for organ transplants exceeds the supply of available organ donors due to a variety of reasons, including lack of awareness about organ donation, religious or cultural beliefs, and medical barriers such as donor compatibility. This shortage results in longer waiting times for patients in need of transplants and unfortunately, many individuals die while waiting for a suitable organ to become available.
Can someone donate islet cells?
Someone can donate islet cells through his donor pancreas. The islets are infused into the liver of the patient. Islet cell transplantation is an experimental treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus.
What is the the most needed transplants?
Kidney transplants are most often carried out (which indicates that they are needed frequently). However persuading donors to donate their liver is particularly difficult, due to popular misconceptions about the person who may receive their liver (i.e alcoholics or drug users). Thus livers are 'needed' more often than kidneys are, since there's fewer livers to go around.
