Richard J. Herrick was an American landmark figure recognized for being the first person to successfully receive a human organ transplant. Born on June 15, 1931, he battled kidney disease and, under the guidance of notable surgeons including Joseph Murray, underwent a pioneering kidney transplant from his identical twin brother on December 23, 1954. This remarkable medical achievement extended his life by eight years, until he tragically passed away from a heart attack at age 31 on March 14, 1963.
