\n– Age alone does not disqualify someone from becoming a donor.<\/strong> The oldest organ donor was over 90 and the oldest tissue donor was over 100. There\u2019s always potential to be a donor; it shouldn\u2019t stop you from registering.
\n– Your current or past medical history does not prevent you from registering to be a donor.<\/strong> Individuals with serious illnesses can, sometimes, be organ and\/or tissue donors. Each potential donor is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n
