Is organ transplantation race dependent? I watched (IMHO canibalistic) movie "Seven Pounds" where protagonist donated many of his organs to other people and I noticed, that most recipients were black also as protagonist was. Is race really taken into account when organ transplanting? **UPDATE** The question is not just about if interracial transplantation really good or bad. I can imagine, that transplantation is done same-race just in case, in favor of "do not harm" principle.

No, race is not a factor taken into account. However, due to higher genetic similarities between people of the same race, it is usually easier to find a match within a race.
