Stevens is just old, but no ailments I'm aware of.
Rehnquist has the C, but he was supposed to be dead by now as a result, and he's not, so I suspect he'll stick it out. While I agree Rehnquist wouldn't step down earlier than necessary, one might think him sufficiently concerned with the institution no to leave it in the lurch were he to die suddenly (which may mean he doesn't expect to).
