Virtual Reality - almost there so this is most likely.\nBrain Transplants are currently too tricky.\n\nAlien Encounters would be cool - this is what I would like most. It would make veryone on Earth get along a bit better.

Through our circulatory system or blood.

No,\nWhile it is rumored with I "knew someone who" the ability to remove an organ or tissue, keep it properly infused with blood and oxygen until it can be implanted in someone else is extremely difficult. also, the levels of approvals, security at hospitals, surgery centers make bringing in these implants almost impossible without a number of people being made aware of it. The marjority of tissue is not compatable from one person to another. There would be rejection immediately and therefore no reason to try it.\n\nThere is more "medicine" to it than most people think.

When my brother passed away in a motorcycle accident we had his organs donated.  They do not keep your body in a locker, the organs have to basically be fresh and alive so your body is kept alive on a life support machine.  Once the organs are removed, (his heart and liver) they are put on ice and flown by helicopter to a patient waiting in the surgery room for the donated organ.  This is all organized very quickly so the recipient of the organ is notified and sent immediately to the hospital for transplant surgery.   They can only take from a body what you or your family allow.  Some people donate their whole body to medical schools and forensic studies.  It was a great feeling to know that someone lived their life with the help of my brothers organs.  We never found out who recieved them but it would have been nice to meet them.  \n\nIf you want to research this further go to your search bar and type in Organ and Tissue Donation Programs and read the listed sites.  I hope this helped answer your question - I hope other people learn from this and make a wise choice in their life.  Once you are gone you might as well share what is left to benefit someone else in need.

Lung\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nThe lungs flank the heart and great vessels in the chest cavity. (Source: Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, 20th ed. 1918.)\n\nThe lungs flank the heart and great vessels in the chest cavity. (Source: Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, 20th ed. 1918.)\nAir enters and leaves the lungs via a conduit of cartilaginuous passageways — the bronchi and bronchioles. In this image, lung tissue has been dissected away to reveal the bronchioles.

In this image, lung tissue has been dissected away to reveal the bronchioles. (Source: Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, 20th ed. 1918.)\n\nThe lung is the essential organ of respiration in air-breathing vertebrates. Its principal function is to transport oxygen from the atmosphere into the bloodstream, and to excrete carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the atmosphere. This it accomplishes with the mosaic of specialized cells that form millions of tiny, exceptionally thin-walled air sacs where gas exchange takes place. Lungs also have nonrespiratory functions.\n\nMedical terms related to the lung often begin with pulmo-, from the Latin pulmonarius ("of the lungs"), cognate with the Greek pleumon ("lung").\n\nRespiratory function\n\nEnergy production from aerobic respiration often requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a by-product, creating a need for an efficient means of oxygen delivery to cells and carbon dioxide excretion from cells. In smaller organisms, such as single-celled bacteria, this process of gas exchange can take place entirely by simple diffusion. In larger organisms, this is not possible; only a small proportion of cells are close enough to the surface for oxygen from the atmosphere to enter them through diffusion. Two major adaptations made it possible for organisms to attain great multicellularity: an efficient circulatory system that conveyed gases to and from the deepest tissues in the body, and a large, internalised respiratory system that centralized the task of obtaining oxygen from the atmosphere and bringing it into the body, whence it could rapidly be distributed to all tissues via the circulatory system.\n\nIn air-breathing vertebrates, respiration occurs in a series of steps. Air is brought into the animal via the airways — in reptiles, birds and mammals this often consists of the nose; the pharynx; the larynx; the trachea; the bronchi and bronchioles; and the terminal branches of the respiratory tree. The lungs of mammals are a rich lattice of alveoli, which provide an enormous surface area for gas exchange. A network of fine capillaries allows transport of blood over the surface of alveoli. Oxygen from the air inside the alveoli diffuses into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood to the alveoli, both across thin alveolar membranes. The drawing and expulsion of air is driven by muscular action; in early tetrapods, air was driven into the lungs by the pharyngeal muscles, whereas in reptiles, birds and mammals a more complicated musculoskeletal system is used. In the mammal, a large muscle, the diaphragm (in addition to the internal intercostal muscles), drive ventilation by periodically altering the intra-thoracic volume and pressure; by increasing volume and thus decreasing pressure, air flows into the airways down a pressure gradient, and by reducing volume and increasing pressure, the reverse occurs. During normal breathing, expiration is passive and no muscles are contracted.. [\n\nNonrespiratory functions\n\nIn addition to respiratory functions such as gas exchange and regulation of hydrogen ion concentration, the lungs also:\n\n    * influence the concentration of biologically active substances and drugs used in medicine in arterial blood\n    * filter out small blood clots fo

You should have researched this one before making such a statement:\nThe uterus is not an organ that is thought to be amenable to transplantation, hence there is no research in this area. Even in the most ideal circumstances it would be extremely unlikely that a transplanted uterus would be able to carry a fetus to maturity. Although organ transplantation is very successful today compared to the past, it is still only accomplished throught the use of toxic drugs that poison one's immune system and cause numerous side effects. Unless one has a life-threatening disease or is reliant on a technology like dialysis to go on living, a transplant is not worth the risk. Until immunosuppression is perfected, a uterus transplant would not be imagineable since the risk would far outweigh the chances of carrying a successful pregnancy. http://www.transweb.org/qa/asktw/answers/answers9701/96032704.html

The Circulatory system?

Yes-  it can be passed from one person to another through food, water, or contaminated objects.

To transport Oxygen from the lungs to other tissues, to transport carbon dioxide from tissues to the lungs. White blood cells are used to fight infections. Platelets are used to seal holes in the blood vessels.
