Best Answer

Most organ donations are done by a deceased person who was in generally good health prior to death. Organ donations can be done by anyone at any age, except perhaps the very elderly. People with cancer, Diabetes, liver disease, Alcoholism, AIDS, and other severe diseases should not be organ donors.

Live organ donation is different. The most well-established organ donation by a live donor is probably a kidney. The donor must be an adult, well informed of the risks, and in very good or excellent health. The donor must not be suffering from a wide range of diseases and conditions.

Children under 18 cannot offer their organs for donation after death. Parents must make this choice when a child dies.
