donor consent
Benefactor grants authorization
Donor consent is permission given by someone providing biological material, organs, money, or other contributions.
In medical contexts, it typically refers to authorization for organ or tissue donation, either from living donors or through advance directives for posthumous donation.
The term also applies to agreements governing how donated genetic material, blood, or research samples may be used: The fertility clinic required donor consent forms before accepting any specimens.
