Suppose a patient has lung cancer then maybe replacing the lungs with 
artificial lungs might be possible...

As an alternative for when there is a shortage of human lung
transplants...

Also maybe the artifical lungs last longer, much longer than human lungs ?

So this requires a smaller machine and a reliable machine which last long.

Then humans come one step closer to immortality :)

Who will be the first robotic human ? ;)
