Is it permissible to register to be a stem cell donor?

Question

Is it permissible to register to be a stem cell donor? The process is that they take a blood sample from you, they analyse it, if someone has cancer and you are a match, they call you and then remove blood from you which contains the stem cells. These cells are then given to the person with cancer. Only your blood is taken.

Answer

It is not permissible. It is haraam to use any part of the human body for treatment or for any use whatsoever.
