Anyone can be a potential donor regardless of age, medical condition or sexual orientation. Even individuals with serious illnesses may sometimes be donors. All potential donors are evaluated on an individual, medical, case-by-case basis. The oldest Canadian organ donor was 92 and the oldest tissue donor was 104. Don’t rule yourself out.

Tissue donation is possible for nearly everyone, even when organ donation is not possible. 

Most religions support organ and tissue donation as an act of life saving.  If you are unsure, talk to your spiritual advisor.

Living donation may be possible following a thorough assessment process. Living donation options include donation of a kidney, part of the liver or part of a lung.
