In the case of physical trauma yes it is absurd because the lungs themselves are still fine, in the case of lungs having been virally weakened it is a last result and from what I can gather it is a highly dangerous last result with few survivors who do not get lifelong complications.... one of these complications being needing a new set of lungs unless you are extremely lucky.Both interventions are high risk and fraught with complications, but to call ventilators death machines is absurd.
