Does someone know, is there an age limit to being an organ donor?

Do you think that once we reach the age of 80 or so that maybe our organs are a bit worn, and perhaps should'nt be offered to a person needing a transplant? I haven't the slightest idea how that works. Does anybody know?

I'm not sure, but it sounds like it's a possibility. When you get older so does everything else in your body, so I guess it would depend on how in shape your organs are. They're not going to turns something down if it's in good condition just because it's old. Or at least that's what I would think.

Funny you should say that there's a movie coming out about a girl who want's to give her sister her liver our something like atat she take's her parant's to court for it..
But in the movie the jude say's that at any age over 18 and can give the organ without killing themselve's is allowed so if a man is 80 and has great part's to offer without dieing then yes he can..Hoped I helped
