      No,
      We Havnt not been successfully in transplanting every organ like the brain and also transplants need to be good matches for the person receiving them so the chances of funding all the organs with an exact match is very unlikely.
      But if we can develop our on stem cells and grow new organs in a lab…..maybe it could be possible in the future.

      No, we can’t have them all transplanted. Currently we can have our kidneys, heart, liver, lungs, pancreas and the small intestine transplanted. Also bits of our body such as the corneas of the eye, bone marrow skin, blood, tendons, cartilage and heart valves. Hopefully in the future we will be able to transplant more organs and tissues or, like @Adelle says, create some of them in the lab thanks to stem cells.
