DONATION Q & As
Is it legal to buy
or sell organs in
Canada?
(NC)—It is illegal to buy or sell organs
in this country. Canada's Human Tissue
Gift Act prohibits the sale of organs
and tissues for profit.
I have a certain medical illness.
Does that mean I can't donate my
organs?
Illness does not always preclude
donating. A medical team does a thorough'
examination of every potential donor
to determine which organs and tissues
can be used for transplantation.
