Dfit00 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Mr Rudge, who said he did not know the "full details" of the case, and was speaking more generally, insisted that it mattered "far more" if lungs were working properly than if they were from a smoker. "Lungs from a smoker can be working perfectly normally and be perfectly suitable for transplantation lungs from a non-smoker can not be working and not be suitable for transplantation," he told BBC Breakfast. "It is nothing to do with the history of the donor, it is whether the organ is working or not, whether it is going to produce a successful transplant or not, and, in this particular case, smoking isn't the issue." I'd like this supposed "Mr. Rudge" to get his ass pounded because of what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
