Important Notice: Our web hosting provider recently started charging us for additional visits, which was unexpected. In response, we're seeking donations. Depending on the situation, we may explore different monetization options for our Community and Expert Contributors. It's crucial to provide more returns for their expertise and offer more Expert Validated Answers or AI Validated Answers. Learn more about our hosting issue here.
Donated organs such as the heart, lungs, liver and pancreas are matched to recipients by blood group and weight. Age and sex are not relevant. If there are two people on the waiting list who are similarly matched, then the person who has been waiting the longest or who is the most ill at the time would receive the organ.
