Kidney failure is also sinister because you can be asymptomatic even while function is declining until it's really bad, like less than 20~30% functionality. So not only is compensatory action like one kidney fulfilling the role of the other at play, both will have to fail to a very significant degree before you even notice.

This is also why younger investors shouldn't chase dividend-paying stocks/funds thinking that it's just "free" money. It is not. You are simply being forced to convert equity to cash and also forced to pay taxes on it unless held in a retirement account. For older investors who actually need the cash and presumably in a lower tax bracket, it makes much more sense.
