A member asked:
Can you tell me more about donating a lung to someone with copd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Admirable, but...: That is admirable, truly. But, donating a lung is a really big deal, and it can have a tremendous impact on your breathing and quality of life. That's why most transplant centers will not do a living lung donor. Kidneys and liver is possible, but usually not lung.
