It depends on what your asking? To be able to give a liver, just good health previously in life cuz my Mother was hit last year when crossing the street so she died brain wise instantly she was 54 yrs old but her organs where all donated to a transplant patient even her liver & she had drank heavy for the past 10~yrs but the recipient just needs to be able to strong enough "Cell wise" to take the organ & then their cells re-juvenate it as it "grows/helps" inside of them. As long as the liver is healthy I don't think it matters what age it is because like i said the recipients Cells are what matters & the will power they have! Im a recipient of a bone marrow cell transplant cuz I've been diagnosed twice with Leukemia so been going to Huntsman/Primary Childrens for the past 14 Yrs been cancer free for the past 5.
