I know that a large part of organ transplants are if they’ll stick or get rejected, but why do they do that? I imagine if your body wants to live it’ll take what it can get so to outright refuse a new organ seems a little counterproductive unless there’s something inhibiting that.

HLA or Human Leukocyte Antigens in most cells make cell matching difficult in organ transplants, but being closely genetically related helps. In blood transfusion the presence of A and B antigens can complicate the process unless the recipients blood type is known. https://youtu.be/pt9ZBw8C1nk
