A close relative required a kidney transplant back in the early 60s when it was still quite new. They told her they expected it to last 2-3 years. Took over 40 years before the kidney gave up, and she led a quite normal life up until the last couple of years. Sadly, because she was given only 2-3 years she felt she lived on borrowed time, and never felt comfortable having kids.
