Who can donate organs and tissues?

People of all ages may be eligible to donate organs and tissues. Your medical condition at the time of death will determine what organs and tissues can be donated. People who have died by brain death criteria (cessation of brain function usually due to a traumatic injury or stroke) can often donate organs and tissue, unless there are other reasons for a medical rule-out.

Patients who die after the cessation of heart and lung function following a family's decision to withdraw ventilator support can also be considered for organ and tissue donation - this is referred to as Donation after Cardiac Death (DCD). Tissue donation is different from organ and tissue donation in that many more people are likely to be eligible for tissue donation. Tissue can be recovered from donors up to 24 hours after death has been determined by either brain death or cardiac death criteria.
