Well and even a matching organ from the same blood type has a very good chance of being viewed as a foreign object in the body. I know there's different meds and procedures to keep that from happening but still, I think you'd have to trick the body into not viewing it as a foreign object..

The body pretty much always views it as a foreign object unfortunately, which means the current organ transplants (such as kidneys) will only last about 10 years or so before they get worn down by the body constantly attacking them (this is even with immunosuppressants), then the patient is back to their old state or possibly even worse.
