Q: My blood group is A+, can I donate my liver or can doctors help me regenerate the liver inside my body by taking out some portion of it? Will that help me with my problem? Is it not going to help the other person who would be receiving some portion of my liver?

A:No you cannot donate. Unrelated donation is illegal.
