A member asked:
How old should you be to donate bone marrow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Over 18 years: They prefer to take it from young adults up to the age of 45 years because the quality of stem cells is best in this age range. This can be extended up to 60 years among family members of the needy patient under special circumstances.
