Is the hair donor always the patient itself, or do we also have cross person transplants? Would a recently deceased person make a viable hair donor?

The hair graft donor is always the actual patient. Think of it like an organ transplant from another person. The body might view the new organ as a foreign object and reject it. The body of the patient would know/realize if donor hair was not from the actual person.
