- Sign up to be an organ donor
[/ QUOTE ]
I was just thinking this. Not sure what would be the best way to die but still be a good candidate. By the time they find yr sparingly petrolled crispy corpse in the woods, nothing is going to be any good anymore.
So you'd have to be found almost immediately after death, or in the process of dying. Poison/drugs is probably out. Anything involving bleeding to death or aphyxiation probably out, too, I'd guess. go to your nearest organ donation center / hospital and shoot yourself in the head with your organ donation paperwork pinned to your chest, maybe.

Both groups of doctors were asked whether patients from four hypothetical scenarios should be candidates for donating a variety of organs. The scenarios included a cocaine overdose, a suicide from drinking methanol, cyanide poisoning and carbon monoxide poisoning.
The survey showed that 70% of transplant doctors would consider or accept organs from patients that had been poisoned with methanol, cyanide or carbon monoxide. However, only 50% of doctors would consider or accept organs from patients who overdosed on cocaine. The caution in accepting organs in this scenario was because there could be a greater risk of the organs being infected by HIV or hepatitis in drug users. The survey also showed that at least 80% of ICU doctors were willing to offer organs from poisoned patients to transplantation centres irrespective of the different poisoning scenarios.
