Since in RealLife organ donation is still an opt-in process in most countries (i.e., you have to sign up to become an eligible donor), lots more people need transplants than there are organs. RuleOfDrama means that this pops up quite a bit in medical and crime shows. Often a {{Determinator}} parent will do whatever it takes to get the LittlestCancerPatient the organ he needs, especially if the person ahead of him is a RichBitch who ruined her body by hard living. Less often the RichBitch learns AnAesop about how precious life is and to open her heart to others (especially if said heart was what got transplanted). Even more rare are incidents in which the organ doesn't take (unless the series is a medical drama); in horror movies, however, the biggest side effect is an increased risk of GrandTheftMe or any other kind of BodyHorror.

* In the German short ''Film/PigHeart'', 13 year old Elli (Creator/AnukSteffen) has a severe heart disease and is in need of a transplant. There's no donor around and the main drama is the fact that, as a vegan, she refuses to get a pig's heart, not wanting an animal to be killed for her to live on.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'': In the Season One episode [[Recap/YoungJusticeS1E20Coldhearted "Coldhearted"]], the young Queen Perdita of [[{{Ruritania}} Vlatava]] desperately needed a heart transplant. The problem is that the only viable donator heart is in Boston while she is on the other side of the country in Seattle. To make matters worse, her evil uncle Count Vertigo, with the help of the Light, attempts to indirectly kill her by unleashing four flying ice fortresses that cover the entire North American Continent in a huge blizzard, thus preventing the hospitals from being able to transport the donator heart by air. Kid Flash has to use his SuperSpeed to transport the heart 3000 miles (4800km) across the country [[RaceAgainstTime before the heart is no longer viable in four hours]]. He manages to successfully transport the heart and save Perdita's life while also exposing Count Vertigo's attempted murder scheme, allowing Perdita to revoke his [[DiplomaticImpunity Diplomatic Immunity]] and place him under arrest.
