What is a living donor?
When an organ transplant is required organs can be sourced from cadavers (dead donors) or from living donors. Living organ donation OS possible because some organs are duplicated in the body (e.g. kidneys) and one of the two can be removed for transplant, and other organs (e.g. the liver) are able to regenerate in the donors body after a portion is removed for transplant. Being a living donor is not a matter to be taken lightly as surgical complications can lead to the death of the donor. In addition, in the case of the removal of a paired organ, the donor foreits his spare organ which might be required later in life. In either case the transplant does not ensure the recovery of the recipient.
How old do you need to be to be a organ donor?
There is no actual age limit. People are able to donate from as young as newborn to as old as 75 years of age. Of course, your medical history would impact on whether you are able to donate or not but age, to a limit, shouldn't matter.

Why is there a shortage of donor hearts?
Out of all transplant-able organs, hearts deteriorate the quickest without a blood supply. This means that time between harvesting the organ and it being stitched into the recipient needs to be as small as possible, in order to guarantee the best chance of success. Often, this means that the time the organ can stay in transit is very minimal, so the organ does not always get to the person most in need of it - instead it goes to the person within easiest geographical reach.
What effect is there on the donor of a kidney transplant?
it all depends on your situation. It is said that it is more painful for the donor than the recipient. As the recipient allow me to tell you that is not true. My mother was the kidney donor and she was able to leave the hospital about a week later. After the surgery your not allowed to pick up above 5 pounds for a while and you are of course sore. Since you will only have one kidney, the kidney you still have will grow to compensate for the loss of the transplanted kidney. Though back then is still a little fuzzy for me, I want to say that you will be back at work within 6 weeks. If you are considering being a donor, please don't change your mind due to the information above. I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Failure when I was 15 years old. I was told I had less than a month. I, of course, survived. But I was forced to go on emergency peritoneal dialysis which saved my life but was nearly unbearable. My mom was able to give me her kidney and gave me life for the second time. Since then, I graduated high school, i played captain on the volleyball team, I am now in my sophmore year in college looking to become a nurse for kids suffering the same disease I did. There is a waiting list with hundreds of thousands of names of people awaiting an organ transplant. tens of thousands die at the very least each year, because people are to afraid of the temporary pain that will save anothers life. Good Luck to you and God Bless.
What future plans are there for organ transplantation?
The future plans are to be able to clone organs in labs (or in pigs or sheep) which will make them essentially a perfect match for the recipient. This will also reduce the need for immunosuppressive drugs post transplant.
