Abstract
The present study analyses the decision making process of a lung–disease–patient facing the dilemma whether to accept or decline a lung-donation and a transplantation surgery, when offered. The authors focus on data regarding an IPF patient and suggest the rational Von-Neumann-Morgenstern decision process as a benchmark both for the transplant-candidate as well as for the medical team involved
