The age limit is not meant to discriminate. The NMDP requires volunteer bone marrow donors to be between the ages of 18 and 60, which is standard medical practice. An individual must be 18 to donate because marrow donation is a surgical procedure and the person undergoing the procedure must legally be able to give informed consent. A guardian or parent cannot sign a release or give consent because unrelated bone marrow donation is a voluntary procedure and is not beneficial or life-saving to the donor. The NMDP must use chronological age to determine eligibility to protest the safety of the donor and provide the best possible treatment for the patient. With age comes a small increase in the risk of side effects from anesthesia
