Transplants are tissue-engineered rather than provided by donors. It takes 6 weeks to custom-grow tissue using tissue-engineering techniques, or a week to do the same using biogenesis. Typical cost to grow a single limb, eye, or organ is $5,000 (doubled for biogenesis). The actual transplant operation might cost another $10,000 per part replaced. With limb transplants, full functionality is not attained for 6 weeks following the operation.
