Age
You must be between the ages of 18 and 60 to join the Be The Match Registry. Age guidelines are not meant to discriminate. They are meant to protect the safety of the donor and provide the best possible outcome for the patient. The lower age limit is based on the legal age of consent. A guardian or parent is not able to sign a release or give consent because unrelated bone marrow donation is a voluntary procedure.
Bless you, Dubya. I am praying for success - all around.
This is wonderful, Dubya! You said yesterday that you wanted to be a donor. When will you find out?
