transplantation
Let an agent explain transplantation and its kinds in neutral clinical terms, relay matching, immunosuppression, outcomes and donation systems from medical and legal sources, describe emerging procedures, and route personal medical questions to transplant teams.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain transplantation and its kinds in neutral clinical terms, relay matching, immunosuppression, outcomes and donation systems from medical and legal sources, describe emerging procedures, and route personal medical questions to transplant teams.
The transfer of cells, tissues or organs from one site or individual to another to replace damaged or missing structures, including solid organ transplants of kidney, liver, heart and lung, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for blood disorders, tissue transplants of cornea, skin and bone, vascularised composite transplants such as face transplants, replantation of severed parts, temporary ectopic implantation of tissues for later replacement, and ABO-incompatible transplants made possible by desensitisation; transplantation requires matching, immunosuppression and ethical systems of donation.
What it is for: Replacing failed organs and tissues.
It can be explain kinds; relay matching and immunosuppression; describe donation systems; route personal questions.
Distinguishing features

Immunosuppression
Ethical donation systems
What it looks like
Not a visible object; surgical procedures.
Physical character
first successful kidney transplant: 1954 year
first heart transplant: 1967 year
first face transplant: 2005 year
organ transplants worldwide: over 150000 per year - estimates
How it is recognised
Transfer of organs, tissues or cells
Solid organ, stem cell, tissue, face and other composite transplants, replantation, ectopic implantation, ABO-incompatible transplants
Prostheses are artificial; blood transfusion is a related transfer; xenotransplantation uses animal sources
