A transplant in medicine, is the transfer of
a tissue or organ from one human being to
another or from one part of the body to
another (skin grafting). In most organ
transplants, the operation is for life-saving
purposes, though the immune system tends to
reject foreign tissue. Careful matching and
immunosuppressive drugs must be used, but
these are not always successful.
