It varies from hospital to hospital what the limits are on the patients they will accept.
MT - you're wrong about the age limits for donors. There have been several 93 year old donors in the last few years, both in the US and abroad. The tissue donor age limit varies depending on the tissue being donated, the gender of the donor, and then changes periodically as the medical community finds new ways to utilize previously unusuable tissues.

I know donors can be a max of 85 years for organs and 75 for tissue. As for recipients newborns can receive organs. Your overall health is the final factor along with matching. My uncle was waiting on lungs and had a very mild non damaging heart attack and was removed from the list. There are webs sites you can goggle.

They factor in how healthy they are, they're lifestyle, and how much time it would by them.
