   Apparently the oldest transplanted liver in humans is 108 years old: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.smithsonianmag.com&#x2F;smart-news&#x2F;transplanted-livers-can-survive-past-100-180980972&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.smithsonianmag.com&#x2F;smart-news&#x2F;transplanted-liver...

      Yeah but livers are basically immortal. You can chop out half of your liver and it just grows back.

         Not so sure about that. A liver can take a heck of a beating, but speak to enough (recovering) alcoholics and you&#x27;ll find plenty that have managed to knacker their livers.
