In the DS9 episode, "Blood Oath", qor, qeng & qolotlh get together after
81 years to hunt down an old enemy. Clearly, Klingons can live a very long
time, if they don't die in battle.
Klingons do have redundant organs, it's called brak'lul. Klingons have
an 8-chambered heart, two livers and 23 pairs of ribs. Apparently, they
are very disease-resistant too. In the recent Voyager episode, Klingons
turned out to be the only known race to be able to resist the Phage.
