A member asked:
Who qualifies to be a living donor of a baby born with gastroschisis with only 2/3 of the colon remaining?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't try: An infant should be able to do ok without the missing 1/3 of the colon.Some adults actually have a large amount of their colon removed due to a variety of medical conditions & do well.
