Webster man celebrates kidney's 100th birthday decades after transplant

Original: Celebrating the 100th birthday of the kidney donated to him as a teenager

A man in Webster, New York, is marking an unusual milestone: the 100th birthday of the kidney his mother donated to him when he was a teenager. The organ, which belonged to his mother first, is now itself a century old and still working. The story highlights how long a living-donor transplant can last, and readers have been moved by the mother's gift and her son's decades of good health since the operation.

Why now: The remarkable longevity of a mother-to-son kidney transplant, now a century old, is an uplifting and rare story people are sharing.
