The Dangerous of A Lung transplant
The culture of organ transplantation in the world both in Mexico and in the World is underrated and little is done to try to promote it, which has led to illegal trafficking in them. Many are in favor of giving life when our bodies we no longer are useful, however the note then I will comment opens the door to an interesting debate.
Lynsey Scott, who suffered from cystic fibrosis, received in February 2009 a double lung transplant from a donor who had smoked for 30 years. Scott died of pneumonia in July, this 28 year old British woman received a lung transplant from a donor smoking without knowing it, and it is precisely this that would like to discuss, because in principle the patient receiving a transplant should know that the national you receive is not entirely new, and the fact that the family found out later that the donor was a smoker does not different, I do not think knowing that Scott had refused to receive the lungs.
True, the donor was a smoker, but also had to be true that state encotraban lungs sufficiently acceptable to be transplanted. I believe that death was in the way of Scott and sooner or later was going to achieve, but from my point of view it would not help the patient to receive more information on the life led by the donor when a transplant itself represents life expectancy.
