Yes! Have you never heard of one sibling giving up a kidney for another sibling? It happens all the time.
On the other hand, you can not donate your heart or other vital organ needed to keep you alive and by doing so end your life!

Yes, for kidney or bone marrow. Don't see it happening with any other organs.
Check with your local hospitals and find out how you can be tested and put on a donor list

You could look into blood and blood product donation aswel as your kidneys or bone marrow. Blood donars save lives, my daughter wouldnt be alive with out her many blood transfussions during her cancer treatment and there are many like her each day having life saving transfussions. Good luck with your donations.

It's possible for some organs and under some special conditions (near family) - but it's definitely forbidden to actually sell your organ to someone!

for kidneys, bone marrow, and sometimes, you can donate a chunk of your liver to someone who needs a liver transplant. the liver tissue will regenerate, so if part of your liver is removed then it will grow back.
