A member asked:
How many people on average experience organ transplant rejection? will that number change if you clone the organ from the patient? (for a paper)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Depends on organ. Try to "match" donor and recipient as much as possible. Recipient given anti rejection drugs which "turn off" their immune system. A clone, by definition, is genetically identical, so is not recognized as foreign and not rejected!
