Organ Transplantation: Process, Challenges, and Future Prospects
Transplants
When a person is declared legally dead but their organs are still viable, they may become an organ donor. After a short preservation period, most tissues and organs can be transplanted into another person.

Before transplantation, doctors perform compatibility tests to minimize the risk of immune system rejection.
Once compatibility is confirmed, the recipient undergoes surgery.
