I am working to find an end to incurable diseases, I recently tried of Asthma and thought of this. I am unaware if this would work or if it has already been attempted.

Made a mistake in typing

"Would an Artificial Trachea Cure Asthma?"

No, because the problems are in the lungs.

Oh, from what I understood Asthma made the bronchial tubes more susceptible to inflammation. My mistake.

I am not well versed in human anatomy, or in medicine. However, it is my understanding that asthma is a condition that effects directly the lungs. The trachea is not involved. How would an artificial trachea help?

Oops. Cross posted with John.

The bronchial tubes are located in the lungs, not the trachea.

But 10 out of 10 for wanting to cure a serious and growing complaint

Yes, I understand now.

Okay, forget about the trachea; would artificial bronchial tubes work?

Then you are essentially talking about an artificial lung. The technology for such a device, located in the human body, is beyond our present capacity. (I suspect, well beyond.) Perhaps a genetic engineering approach would be more appropriate, easier to achieve and more socially acceptable.

That makes much more sense, thank you for the help.
