A member asked:
What age do you have to be to be a living organ donor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
18-21 years of age: Transplant programs may vary in the age requirement for the living donor. Many programs will not routinely consider potential donors under the age of 21. Some will consider potential donors between the ages of 18 and 21. In these instances, the emotional maturity of the donor will be assessed in detail. No one younger than age 18 will be considered for organ donation.
