A member asked:
Being a twin, would i be able to donate bone marrow to my twin if he needed it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes. You would be able to- especially if you are an identical twin. The chance that you would be a good donor will be very high. If you are an unidentical twin- your chance to be a donor would be the same as the chance of your other sibling/s.
