Question
Chapter 45.3, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the kidney transplant from unknown donor or a transplant between first cousins would more likely be successful.
Concept introduction: Tissue or organ or graft transplant is a process in which the damaged or severely injured tissues or organs are replaced with healthy tissues. The common transplants include bone, kidney, heart, skin, cornea, lungs, and bone marrow. There are different types of transplants that differ according to the donor, namely-allograft (between same species), isograft (between identical twins), autograft (within same individual), and xenograft (between different species).

When you enthusiastically suggest that blood transfusions will help him, he protests that his religious beliefs disallow him from accepting transfusions.
