Sixty years ago, organ transplants for humans began to show signs of success. Since then, organ donation has saved millions of lives worldwide. This program gives viewers a detailed look at how transplant recipients and donors are matched, as well as what happens before, during, and after a transplant operation.

The program also features commentary from transplant experts—including doctors at Stanford University’s world-renowned transplant center—who describe state-of-the-art methods for predicting and treating organ rejection.
