I believe the longest surviving kidney transplant patient is still living after 37 years. Name: Jack E. Harris, Jr. of Arlington, Texas. Transplant date 01/08/1973. at the age of 15 (DOB 01/15/57).
no Yes, he had it August 2009. His wife donated the kidney.
His wife Ann Serrano
The receiver probably dies.
Bart never donated anything to Abe Simpson, however, Homer donated his kidney.
You can donate not only kidney's, but also parts of the liver and skin can be donated. Also the lung, pancreas, bone marrow and intestine can be donated while alive.
In general, no. You can live just fine with one kidney.
You can't assume it would be a problem. It's not unusual for those born with a single kidney, with a single functioning kidney, or who donated a kidney to have a successful pregnancy.
My grandfather was 90 when my uncle donated a kidney to him. 3 years later, both are going strong.

Donated a kidney and had a cut of about 18 inches long from lower back to almost the groin and then they made me cough. Way too much fun.
The person recieving the kidney does not normally require two, so long as the donated kidney is working fully. Usually a "kidney transplant recipient" just means that they've gained one extra kidney (since the originals are not normally removed) - this is the standard procedure. However a transplanted kidney has a life of about ten - 15 years, which means that eventually they may need to be transplanted again.
No I believe that u have to be at least 18, like donating blood. But definitely no 12.
