A member asked:
If someone receives a liver transplant, and the liver functions but the recipient soon dies, can the organ be transplanted again in someone else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This would depend on the reason for the death of the recipient. Could potentially be done but a double transplant of an organ would be pretty unusual.
