Organ transplants are the easiest to explain - people need these when their own organs have failed to prevent them from dying.
Tissue transplants work on the sample principle, but the patient may simply be suffering or could use the extra boost to return to full health. Tissue transplants include corneas (which can restore sight to people legally blinded by glaucoma or corneal trauma), bone grafts (which are often used during complicated bone re-setting surgeries) and skin grafts (which can be used during reconstructive surgery or to treat burn patients).
People need certain organ transplants to survive some diseases. For example, if you had a liver problem, generous people give a liver to you, so you can live and the same thing can happen to a variety of different organs.
