A member asked:
Can i donate a lung to my sister?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Currently unos, the network in charge of organ donation, does not allow for whole living related lung donation. Partial lung, e.g. A lobe, has been donated for kids, but a whole lung would leave the donor too debilitated.
