What Could Be The Theoritical Age Of Internal Organs After Transplantation?
I have a question about the maximum theoretical age of our organs, heart, liver, lungs, kidney, Say if someone were 90 years old and died and still had healthy organs, how long would they theoretically live for transplanted in someone elses body, if they died, would it be possible to transplant that organ yet again?
