Question

A friend is asking: I was found to be a suitable match to donate bone marrow through Ezer Mizion, and I want to do it, but my mother is strongly opposed to my donating. Is there an issue of honoring my mother if I donate without her knowing about it?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

You are permitted to donate without your parents' knowledge.
