* ''Videogame/{{Rimworld}}:'' Since the game smooths over incompatibilities, getting one of your colonists a new organ to replace a failing one (damaged hearts, cirrhosis-melted livers, chemically-damaged kidneys, cancer and bullet-afflicted organs) is as simple as ripping it out of another colonist. Or, better yet, one of the many Raiders that will try to kill your colony. Indeed, you can replace your favorite pawn's clogged heart with that of some random space pirate that's barely alive after stepping on a landmine. [[OrganTheft And sell the other organs to the next trader]].
