Course they do, one kidney's doing twice as much work so it will get
worn out quicker.

Not actually. The remaining kidney will grow large enough to compensate for the other one.

You are a fortunate person indeed, if you can begin each day accepting the fact that during that day there will be ups and downs, good breaks and bad ones, disappointments, surprises, and unexpected turns of events.

When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.

I've heard both theory's before but I don't know which is true. :shrug:

I've also heard that the "extra" kidney is left over from evolution, back in the caveman days our diet was different and we needed the "extra" kidney, but now modern man can do without (like wisdom teeth)

There's probably a good reason for having two. I always imagined they could do load balancing, so if one is not tip top, the other can do more work.

Why couldn't we have multiple hearts?

Cause we reproduce our cells all the time.. ..it could be just a waste of nutrients to have more than one. And we probably never had the use for more than one.

It's one thing to simply enjoy a style of life that one enjoys, but it's another thing altogether to refer to another person's choice as "wrong" or to rationalize their behavior as being pathological or resulting from some sort of inadequacy or failing so as to create a sense of superiority or separation as yet another projection of a personal fear or control issue.
