@nonek1, I also encourage you to contact Mayo Clinic to find out more (and report back what you learned). Age is only one point of criteria. Health status may differ between people of the same age.

Here is an article from Mayo Clinic and age in relation to kidney transplant that helps explain.
- Is There a Cut Off Age for Kidney Transplant? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/transplant/newsfeed-post/is-there-a-cut-off-age-for-kidney-transplant/

Obviously, a lung transplant is not the same as a kidney transplant. The decision must be based on the individual.
