Sentence Correction

Hello All and specially experts

I have a question regarding the usage of the possessive pronouns its, which refers to recipients mentioned in the quoted para below: Since the word its refers to recipients, shouldn't it be a plural possessive pronoun like their or its refers to each recipient instead?

"Since the first successful transplant was performed in the United States in the 1954, a series problem faced by transplant recipients has been the possibilities that its own body will try to reject or destroy the transplant."

I really appreciate your help?

1. ITS is always and only singular.

2. Since in the sentence you quote the antecedent of ITS is RECIPIENTS, the pronoun used should be THEIR, not ITS.
