Twin Brother Saves Twin’s Life | Columbus News

When Chris Cullinan needed a kidney, his identical twin Sean stepped up to donate — creating a life-saving, deeply emotional bond. At Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Dr. Amer Rajab, who’s performed transplants since 1999, called it the first time he’d seen twins do this. With a 96-97% success rate for living donor transplants — even among twins — the surgery was a triumph. For Sean, watching his brother suffer on dialysis was agonizing; now, seeing Chris thrive again is everything. Chris says he can’t imagine being closer to his brother — now that he carries Sean’s kidney, their connection is literally in his blood. Doctors hope this powerful story inspires more people to consider organ donation — because one person’s decision can literally save another’s life.
