Can you use grafts donated from say, your mother or father if they offered to utilize their ear or rib cartilage?

Is it possible to use cartilage from someone else if you don't have enough or don't want to use your own and your parents would rather you use theirs so avoid scaring on the body etc.? Just curious.
