<div>I guess that is a reasonable question. I have always been under the assumption that the more alike the donor is to the recipient, the better the odds are for the body to accept the transplanted organ.
 
My License says I am a donor, so there is going to be some drunk guy out there that isn't going to appreciate the mileage on his new liver.   that isn't going to come close to how ticked the guy that gets my brain is going to be. ... Do you think I could request they put my brain in a females body?

You might be surprised just how similar we all are underneath the skin. 

 

Organ transplant matches cross racial lines a lot easier than most of us can.  Certain blood types are more common among certain races, true, but there are only 8 of them.

 

You would be shocked to find out just who will get your brain when you pass.
