Why is there an upper age limit to being a bone marrow donor?

One of my college professors has a grandson needing a bone marrow donation. The grandson's name is Ethan Powell.See link: http://www.ethanpowell.com/I got on the list in Phoenix years ago. I am probably not a match for his grandson, but I would donate for him if I could.I am 60 years old. I find that if someone is over the age of 60 (when you turn 61) that they take you off the list. Why?
