Topic > A Comparison of Medical Transplants and Organ Donation…

The term “medical transplant” refers to the process of organ donation. In the current modern trends, the world is moving towards the fifth generation. New innovative medical techniques have enabled people to recover from serious illnesses. The phenomenon of organ donation and transplantation is based on two primary subjects. It involves a surgical process to remove a body organ and form of tissue from the donor and insert it into the recipient's body. Furthermore, transplant performed within the body itself is called autograft. Medical transplantation performed between different bodies of the same species is called allotransplantation (Hewitt, 2008). The main reason for medical transplantation and organ donation is any injury and disease that prevents the organ from functioning in proper condition.
