Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This means a transplant will only be carried out if it’s thought there’s a relatively good chance of it being successful. For example, a lung transplant would not be recommended for someone with lung cancer because the cancer could come back in the donated lungs.
Detailed explanation-2: -After passage of the UDDA, uDCDs were abandoned to Donation after Brain Death donors (DBDs)-perhaps prematurely. Compared to livers and kidneys, many DBDs have lungs that are unsuitable for transplant, due to aspiration pneumonia, neurogenic pulmonary edema, trauma, and the effects of brain death on lung function.
