Another option, The mother could donate 2 of hers and get a transplant if the boys had bad matches. Not the best, but as a parent I would go that route....if needed.

It's not unusual at all for people needing transplants to be very difficult matches. Polycistic types, as I understand, are often difficult. And I believe there is sometimes some complication among black people, too.
