It is a touchy situation.
Not only did someone get bumped, but cystic fibrosis will attack the new lung.

Not only did someone get bumped, but cystic fibrosis will attack the new lung.

For cystic fibrosis patients, the donated lungs don't contain the defective gene that caused their own lungs to clog — so they won't fill with mucus again.
