In this photo taken June 28, 2016, Brenda Hudson talks to surgeon Dr. Matthew Cooper as her husband and kidney donor Dana Hudson watches at left, prior to undergoing a kidney transplant at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington. Hudson's first kidney transplant lasted four decades, and her second showcases how far organ transplants have come and the hurdles that still await. More than 120,000 people are on the nation's waiting list for an organ transplant, most of them for kidneys, and thousands die before receiving one because of a dire shortage of donors.
