Transplants, other than bone marrow, are rarely given to cancer patients.
Lung transplants are only done from cadavers as a heart & lung transplant is generally performed with the intact heart then being used for transplant to a further patient.
Your wish is understandable but impracticable.

No, No surgeon will put someone in a position of them living on 1 lung.

If his lungs are both affected, the cancer has spread beyond the lobe of a lung and sread into the other and everywhere in between. But no, you can't.

It depends entirely on the similarity of the tissue that your lungs have to your Dad's. You can give one by all means, but if your tissues dont match up, it will only be rejected and wasted. Ask a surgeon or doctor to test to see if you can.

It is quite impossible to give a lung . Otherwise ask your surgeon, if possible. May be you can give, it is not possible to tell like with without any knowledge of you and your dad.

NO. No matter what age this is something you will always have the option to do so or not. Honestly, I would give my parents a lung of mine. But If you don't want to, then don't. What are they gonna do? Hold you down, drug you, cut out your internal organ, sow you up then make you pay a medical bill.
Doesn't that sound like murder? That would be illegal.
I have worked in the medical business for 6 years. I know about this stuff.
