True. The good news is that present research at Mayo is being done with taking T-cells from the lung and adding them to cleaned up donor lungs to make them less likely to reject.

Windwalker terri.....is it at the point where they are doing on humans??tdrell terri

Honestly, I do not know what point they are at presently, but my doctor was very optimistic. They broke ground on the new facility in Florida last year that will specialize in this. There may be something written about it on their site; will have to look. I find it interesting and exciting.
