Is there an age limit for organ donation?


Is there an age limit for organ donation?

No, there isn’t. The decision about whether some or all organs or tissue are suitable for transplant is made by medical specialists at the time of donation, taking into account your medical, travel and social history.

Parents and guardians can register their children, and in some countries, children can register themselves provided they are above a minimum age, or — as is mandatory in India — they have a parent or guardian agreement for the donation to take place.

There is another myth surrounding organ donations too: That you can’t donate if you have a tattoo. Again, not true. Having a tattoo doesn’t prevent one from donating their organs.
