Organs people need the most
Many people need organs but many don't get them because of money. Everyday about 77 people get organ transplants, but about 18 die each day waiting for one. There are many organs to transplant but the main ones are...
- kidney
- heart
- liver

Conclusion
From reading all these documents I think that in some cases it is ok to have an organ transplant. But, it is not ok to kill animals for organs. Animals are not just meant to be grown and killed for human purposes.
