An individual of any age, gender or religion can be an organ donor. The decision to retrieve the organs will be based on the health of the organs. The close relative of the brain dead can give the consent for organ donation if the deceased has not made a will. It is possible that the organs may not be retrieved even if you have given the consent if they are not suitable for transplant.
