	Organ transplant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An organ transplant is the transplantation of a whole or partial organ from one body to another (or from a donor site on the patient's own body), for the purpose of replacing the recipient's damaged or failing organ with a working one from the donor site.
		An allograft is a transplanted organ or tissue from a genetically non-identical member of the same species.
		Pioneering work in the surgical technique of transplantation was made in the early 1900s by the French surgeon Alexis Carrel, with Charles Guthrie, with the transplantation of arteries or veins.
