	It should be clarified they mean whole organs. Portions of organs can be transplanted as well, such as corneal or eye transplants.

	Let's be honest - how many people tried brain transplant?

	Skin is an organ, and it can be transplanted.

	Dwight Schrute: What am I thinking right now? Michael Scott: Um, nacho chips. Dwight: No, I was thinking about how the skin is the largest organ of the body. Michael: Ooooook

	@Ieuano and cheesyjon: Only two face transplants have ever been performed. It's still very experimental.

	@psycho, skin is an organ, but it says "whole human organs" so I think that would mean a person would need entirely new skin all over there body, and someone else would have to give it to them. Which is kinda gross. And probably not possible.

	Large instestine and small intestine should both be accepted for intestine. After all, each is a whole human organ.

	I want to take his face ... off.

	grarap:	Aug 12th, 2009 at 19:54 GMT		22 points
	Yes, I'm ashamed that the first answer I tried was brain. I'm equally ashamed that I missed freaking kidney

	gracie:	Aug 12th, 2009 at 20:06 GMT		7 points
	i agree with booger - i tried both large and small intestine too.

	Fenwicky:	Aug 12th, 2009 at 20:19 GMT		7 points
	i tried large and small intestine, neither worked, they should accept it.

	I thought bladders could be transplanted

	The face is also not an organ, to those who keep bringing it up...

	pancreas got me :/

	What's really sad is that the waiting list for an organ recently passed 100,000 people. Most of them won't get an organ in time. Please sign the back of your driver's license, it could save more than one life someday.

	I thought of brain, but didn't try it. Did try face and hand, though I got a clue that that wasn't what the quiz was going for. Only missed intestine, because I didn't know you could transplant those. I thought they just made what you had a lot smaller by chopping out the bad parts (note awesome medical lingo I'm employing). Anyway, yuck. Though I suppose if I really needed an intestine I'd be okay with it. I just would hope they cleaned it really well first.

	Tried to be too specific, typed colon, duodenum, ileum, jejunum. You'd think the next step would be to try intestine. Doh!

	This is an incomplete quiz and only correct if it lists organs that can be "donated". The source used only lists commonly transplanted organs because it's from an organ sharing website. Stomach transplants are rare but possible, the penis is definitely an organ, and bladder transplants have been done.

	Brain isn't that sci-fi, I had one more and I guessed it because I thought it could be like a liver transplant, they have only done parts and not the whole thing at once. Also, technically they have transplanted brain tumors into lab mice and such.

	@jessica Same here, pancreas was too hard to think of lol. Got 5/6 though... i pretty much guessed on intestine... lol was just thinking of stuff that might be able to... Brain was one i typed... not such a great result.

	The face is not an organ.

	dudeitshyatt:	Aug 12th, 2009 at 22:04 GMT		2 points
	So can you transplant like all x feet of your large or small intenstines or just sections of them?

	wayman:	Aug 12th, 2009 at 23:11 GMT		6 points
	I missed one. I try not to think about my liver.
