  This article is concerned with proving the consistency of Efron's (1981)
bootstrap for the Kaplan-Meier estimator on the whole support of a survival
function. While other works address the asymptotic Gaussianity of the estimator
itself without restricting time (e.g. Gill, 1983, and Ying, 1989), we enable
the construction of bootstrap-based time-simultaneous confidence bands for the
whole survival function. Other practical applications include bootstrap-based
confidence bands for the mean residual life-time function or the Lorenz curve
as well as confidence intervals for the Gini index.
