Not entirely true. Of course there is no guarantee on a transplant, but the average life of a living donor is much higher than a deceased one. A deceased donor organ can last an average of 10 years, whereas a living donor organ can last almost double that.

I see, what about if a donor is a relative of the patient? Just the same?
Relatives are the most ideal living donors and yes they do have more longevity.
