Abstract

Organ transplantation is a multidisciplinary specialty that has seen remarkable advances in the past two decades, in the tireless pursuit of providing life-saving therapy for patients suffering from end-stage organ failure. As the scientific basis and clinical practice of organ transplantation continues to evolve, it becomes increasingly apparent that "what was inconceivable yesterday, and barely achievable today, becomes routine tomorrow" (73).
