Discussion Would you donate your organs if you CTB or elected euthanasia?

[Praestat_Mori]

No, I want my body to be intact.

"Braindead" is not dead - it's a state in between. Dying is a process and nobody knows what actually happens during that process and what the dying person still experiences and what not.

It'd be much better if governments actively supported and funded programs on how we can grow organs from our own stem cells if we need a replacement. Genetically such organs would fit perfectly to our genetics as they grow from our own stem cells.

Also, I'd prefer to die instead of asking for organs from someone else. In some cases, people can live a happy life but imo in most cases people are still suffering, need strong medication and the organs can be rejected by their bodies.

In 2 weeks I will start the legal process of requesting euthanasia because I can't bring myself to suicide, but I'll reconsider suicide if I'm denied. I have a choice of donating my organs. I'm on the fence about it. I'd appreciate your thoughts on the pros and/or cons. Also, if you could choose organ donation with suicide, would you?

The pro is that someone could make use of the life I do not want.

The con is that I'm going to be chopped up, which is a pretty horrible thought.

Thanks in advance for your insights.

I also wanted to say, I completely forgot in my first comment and I apologise again for that but I sincerely hope you find peace. I don't know much about euthanasia but I wish you the best with it and the legal process

I've always wanted to donate my organs and have known people who've died who've then saved others through donation, and people who have been saved from other donations.

It makes sense that a completed suicide in all likelihood means the organs probably won't be able to be donated, and I am sad about that. Although maybe skin still could be. Anyway. I'm glad I'm an organ donor.

In an ideal situation I would want to, but my parents were against it so I am not a registered donor. Plus, if I poison myself with SN, I don't know how viable my organs would be
