Even in its current state it could save a lot of lives. If they can improve the length of time it could be used for as well as find some way to neutralise the CO2 in the absence of a working respiratory system then that could lead to great things indeed. It would certainly give those with compromised lung function a much higher quality of life.
I believe that in normal pressure conditions it takes around 15 mins to get c02 poisoning, under water it takes around 7 (At least thats what I remember)
