>>>>Are you saying any lung can be accepted by the next donor? You seem to lack facts to back this up, and usually there are blood typing and tissue typing issues, you cant just fix it all with cyclosporin.
I'm saying that there may be others on the list who are a match for the adult lung and would potentially have a higher success rate. Going back to my example. Do you give the lung to the child with five weeks to live and a 40% chance of success or do you give it to the adult with 3 months to live but an 80% success rate. Is it simply a matter of who is closest to death or do you take survivability into account?

“MAY”
What if there weren’t, though. These clowns seem to be saying “no way it could happen” not “this lung ought to go to this adult that is proven to be able to use it now.”
