Why are live transplants rare?

Live transplants are rare primarily due to the limited availability of suitable living donors, as not everyone is eligible to donate an organ. Additionally, the rigorous medical and psychological evaluations required for both donors and recipients can restrict the number of viable candidates. Ethical concerns and the need for informed consent further complicate the process, making live donations less common than deceased organ donations. Finally, the complexity of the surgical procedure and the need for post-transplant care also contribute to their rarity.
