In this picture taken on December 9, 2022, thoracic surgeon Thomas Charrier (2ndL) from the Foch hospital in Suresnes outside Paris, removes the lungs of a deceased patient before bringing them back to the Foch hospital for a transplantation to be performed later in the day, at an operating room in an undisclosed hospital in eastern France. - During an organ transplant, from the moment the organ is removed from a donor, a "race against time" is undertaken until the transplantation. A feat made possible thanks to the human chain that will be deployed for several hours. (Photo by Christophe ARCHAMBAULT / AFP)
