Is it possible to donate a liver to someone older than me?

Yes: A lot of things have to fit into place--you have to be doing it for the right reasons, but of similar blood type, and be healthy yourself. In addition, the person to whom you're donating has to (1) need, and (2) be able to tolerate a liver transplant.
