I need a method that will ensure my organs can be donated.

[scruntle]

My life is over, and I should kill myself while I'm young enough for my organs to be valuable for organ donation. My intent for quite a while has been to find a gun and end my life at a hospital, so that my organs would have the highest possible likelihood of being harvested and givesn to people who need them.

Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to acquire a firearm, so I need an alternative. It needs to be instant and needs to not harm any organs except my brain. On the instant front, I've considered jumping from a high building or driving my car into a wall, but those would likely very seriously damage my organs. I don't know whether dropping a toaster into my bathtub would destroy my organs, but it would be hard to ensure that the organs would be harvested in time. (Yes I know I would have to have it plugged in outside the bathroom). I know there must be other ways, but I lost all my creativity when my real life ended years ago. I just need to end my biological life now and I want to make sure that I make the world better by doing it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum! That's not gonna work. You have to be "brain dead" but machines keep you alive essentially body functions and blood flow. If your actually dead not breathing and the brain really died it's too late to donate organs bc at that point when your "soul" and body is really dead the organs are also dead and have too many damages due to lack of oxygen.

This would only work in a clinical environment, imo. Impossible, as long as voluntary suicide isn't legally possible with the option to become an organ donor.

What?? No! No no no no, this was the most important thing I had left, I could at least give my death some meaning. There must be SOME way. Is this true for all organs? If they witness the death as it happens, can't they still harvest the organs? I know some organs are harvestable for longer than others after death, like kidneys.

But assuming that dying instantly at a hospital would still be viable for organ donation, can you please give me some additional ideas beyond a gun?

... Fuck. Hearing that CTB at a hospital wouldn't work for donating my organs gave me a deeper and more horrifying sense of hopelessness and despairthan all of the factors that have gone into my decision to CTB combined. Holy fuck. My whole body went numb reading it. I have to believe that there must be some way around it...

Assuming that there isn't, can anyone provide any ideas on how to instantly make my brain 99% dead, so my organs can be harvested?

... And now thinking back, I remember a conversation on reddit, years ago, with a nurse who worked heavily in organ donor transplants, who told me that an instant death in a hospital setting could still work, (because they'd be able to extract it quickly enough and get it oxygenated,) it just wouldn't be as ideal as transplant from a braindead live donor. Maybe they were fully of crap. I know I certainly couldn't get a straight answer by asking in person.

In any case, this is the only place I can think to ask for advice, so I'm desperate for ideas from y'all.

Maybe someone can shed some light into the issue but i would recommend just getting this idea out of your head. Its sad, but reality is that it's almost impossible.

AFAIK you would only get you organs donated if you have the propper paperwork, are hospitalized for whatever reason, and you die from an expected outcome of your hospitalization reason.

Theres no faking it, and anything coming close is almost assured to be painfull as fck, and unguaranteed.

Sorry :(

Agree with everything here.

There is no way to commit suicide and have your body in nice enough condition to donate unless you'd rather risk calling the authories, have them come at just the right time for you to die before they can save you, but not too soon before you are in a hospital environment, which is just not possible to predict.

Maybe donate plasma for a few months if it makes you feel better, that does save lives.

Not even :( anything labeled as suicide, goes directly to forensics if dead. Even if you invent the perfect poison that leaves everything intact, you are going to get an autopsy.

You would have to be found soon enough for them to intervene with a ventilator to keep you alive, while you are brain dead.

Find the clinic/lab/sci-center and contact with them. Remember, there are different regulations in different countries. Prepare your passport, etc. Prepare yourself for the interview, because they may easily reject you without even asking. Be patient and clean, and open minded. I guess it might work, since it's even not completely prohibited internationally.

And yeah, it involves assisted suicide, which is illegal on 99% of the planet, but I think it just happens behind the doors sometimes, idk.
