If that would work I guess people would like to "refresh" their organs anyway from time to time to avoid failure.

Yes, though I would expect the risk of complications from this procedure will outweigh the benefit for healthy patients for many years after it becomes a "routine" operation for those with lung disease.

Weird thought what if a 20'something put cells in a bank and had organs generated from them later in life.
