    My Father gave his twin a kidney and saved his life, it was the first successful kidney transplant in the country. Howard and Harold Rosecrans, the Rosecrans twins. They were featured in Time magazine on the 25 year anniversary. My Uncle Harold passed at 59, my Dad at 63.

      @@allinaflutter6117 but as a father it still feels like shit. Life is not predictable. Accidents and illness always don't come announcing. If something were to happen the survival rate would be close to 0. If you didn't know you can't just replace any organ with someone else's. You are given drugs to prevent organ rejection cause your body treats it as foreign particle and tries to eject it. Thinking practical beats thinking with emotions. You can't make life decisions cause you feel a certain way, there are problems to deal with, what's the point of having your father alive for your children if you yourself wind up dead cause of kidney failure? The medical world isn't as straightforward and rosy as you think you're just young and inexperienced try taking care of someone with multiple complications and you will see how incompetent the hospitals and doctors are to the point which makes you wonder if their degrees are legit.
