2. Your daughter’s health and autonomy come first.
No one — not even a biological grandparent — has the right to demand medical procedures from your child. Bone marrow donation is not like giving blood; it’s a serious medical process that involves testing, sedation, and some risks. Even though the risks are relatively low in most cases, it’s still your child’s body.
- Doctors and hospitals will require parental consent and the child’s assent if she’s old enough.
- A medical team would also independently assess whether it’s safe for her.
You are not obligated to say “yes” just because it’s your father asking.
