Right, that's what the article says too, what I really meant was that it's not a vital organ such as liver or pancreas for example: when it's badly damaged, not much can be done about it. Whereas vocal cords can be "fixed up", there's no prosthesis but surgery and/or a better diet/lifestyle can solve the problem, it's not an irreversible one.

Plenty of examples of this like lungs, teeth, the spine, lower back muscles, knee.

Wrong. Lower back muscles are like any other muscle in the body: you need to avoid movements that cause injury and practice exercises that strengthen them to avoid pain. Teeth and kneecaps can be replaced by prostheses and you're 20 again!
