Posted: 17 Nov 2013 09:16 AM PST

In this Oct. 25, 2013 photo, Lisa Bowman sits at her home in Union Grove, N.C. Bowman, who suffers from a lung disease, has been on the transplant waiting list for two years. It's a little-known twist of nature: Your lungs can live on for a while after you die. The air left inside keeps them from deteriorating right away like other organs. Now an innovative experiment aims to use that hour or more window of time to boost lung transplants by allowing donations from people who suddenly collapse and die at home instead of in a hospital. Bowman hopes the research will speed her wait for new lungs. (AP Photo/Chuck Burton)The pair of lungs sits inside a clear dome, gently inflating as doctors measure how well they'll breathe if implanted into a patient who desperately needs a new set.
