i am 15 and am trying to give bone marrow but if you are under 18 you cannot donate. im going to fight it.how?
even with parental consent you cannot proceed because unrelated bone marrow donation is a voluntary procedure.. but i am volunteering myself? i need help. answers, opinions, anything!
If the case is sympathetic and you can generate sufficient publicity by getting the attention of the media: State legislature as well as the federal legislature can make a one time exception for that specific case. So, start writing your story to the local media, write to the local congressman, state senators and even the members of the U.S. senate. Remember to say, you just want to make a one time exception, not a change in law.
You wait until you turn 18 unless a relative needs a donation before that.
There are always certain risks involved in any procedure and until you are legally an adult you should not be put in a position to make that sort of decision for a stranger.
i comprehend that any guy who has ever had intercourse with yet another guy isn't allowed to donate blood, regardless of in the event that they are HIV adverse, even if I even have known gay men who do provide blood, yet i'm uncertain approximately bone marrow. i'm advantageous that they might not be allowed on the bone marrow donation sign up, yet whilst it grow to be a donation to a relative then it can be a private rely & as long because of the fact the recipient grow to be pleased with it i think that the well-being midsection could do it.

The only way you fight it is by changing the law and that is not going to happen.
