How many Organ Donors are in America?

In the UK around 10% of people sign up to be organ donors (for when they die).

This keeps organ donation rate around 10% (since all those who personally elect to be organ donors, very few actually become organ donors since they have to die in the right way to be suitable. i.e. on a ventilator, preferably with an incurable head injury) .

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 disadvatges of using animals as organ donors for humans?

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.
