The math here is a little confusing, but that's an exceptionally long lived organ. For reference I received a kidney transplant from my mother at 16. It lasted 19 years after being transplanted. My mother was 68 when I had to return to dialysis.

The detail that got me: both on gurneys holding hands, and the mom crying tells him "don't worry about a thing, I've got a Genesis concert and I'm not missing it". They both made it to the concert. He still has the ticket stub

There is an observation that donated organs sync to a biological age of the recipient.

Ok so he needs to also donate it to a third person. Let's see how long we can keep it going!

I read somewhere that transplanted organs adopt the age of the recipient, contradicting the hopes of people who want to live forever by replacing their organs regularly.

Didn’t Putin allude to that recently ?

In any case that’d be good news, it would augment the organ availability by allowing older donors!

I donated a kidney to my Dad in 2000. It gave him an extra 23 years with us. He was on very low doses of his anti-rejection meds, partially due to us being a 4 out of 6 HLA type match, so the doctors were hopeful it would last him the rest of his life. It would have lasted far longer if ALS hadn't shown up.

i wonder if there are any kidneys or other organs on their 3rd person...

like the donee dies, and the original kidney goes on to someone else

I was confused at first. Mom donated a kidney to her son and she would have been 100, making the kidney effectively 100.

And these days, mothers in America will genitally mutilate (circumcise) their sons without a second thought.
