Answer 1

   PANCREATIC TRANSPLANT FOR DIABETIES

A pancreas transplant is an operation to treat insulin dependent diabeties. It gives someone with diabeties a healthy insulin producing pancreas from a doner who's recently died. This means they can produce their own insulin and do not need to inject it.
