Saying "Using donor lungs from smokers is not unusual" Papworth Hospital in London England transplanted the CANCEROUS lungs of a smoker into 31 year old Matthew Millington, an Iraq war veteran who was told he needed a double lung transplant...

Within a year, Millington was dead. The hospital has said, "The number of lung transplants carried out would have been significantly lower if we hadn't"

So, are they saying they believe it's more important to perform more sugeries (and make more money) than save peoples lives???

I guess they are only in it for money, don't bother screening the donor organs, just give them any at all to prolong their life a bit but not save
them. 18/10/2009.

It's a shame, but unfortunately hospitals are being run more like a "business" than a place that saves lives... Now GREEDY business people are making decisions that are killing people...
