I believe that the thick mucus present in the body more or less destroys the vas deferens, so we are born with it, but quickly lose it.

The scarring of the lungs and pancreas really can't be reversed.

Well, I no longer have a hole in my left lung, so I am unable to entirely agree with you. But I also don't care to discuss this further on HN.
