Not at all. If things worked that way, there are countless individuals in the world who would consider doing so. For example, an already ill elderly person for the sake of a younger loved one, or a relative or parent for the sake of a dying child, etc.
It's possible of course to be a good organ donor, but there's an element of luck involved ie. the organs must be fresh and in good health. I have an advanced cancer, so in many case, my organs are not wanted/needed for donation.
Killing one's self to become an organ donor is possibly interrupted by the issue of an autopsy being needed to determine the actual cause of death ie. to rule out homicide/other causes. Also, I tend to look at the decision of 'suicide' as something that should be decided only in a sober mind when one has truely and honestly done one's very best attempt to live. For example if a person can devote themself to a healthy lifestyle and at least metaphorically withing a year - run the equivalent of a marathon,and accomplished certain goals in life, then we can talk of suicide, but I bet you would by then feel like you wish to live.
Also, if you want to help someone heroically via your own death - do so by taking out a substantial life insurance policy with $$$$$$ going to particular beneficiaries, which can be people and institutions.
To successfully make such a transaction, you must not kill yourself, because it will then void the pollicy. I'd say the best way - is to live as best you can. Life is precious. I wish I didn't have cancer and had more time. I haven't given up, but I do get frustrated with folks who don't want to live, but life is hard and what I think people are really saying - is that they want to live but are just very frustrated with life. Keep living. Live better. Keep trying. Never give up.
I wish more people - many more people - would take out substantial insurance policies at earlier ages ie. leaving at least $100k to institutions/favorite charaties before they marry and have family beneficiaries. I think it would give people a greater sense of value and importance to society. There's always that one hitch ie. the policy becomes void if you kill yourself - so you might as well live the best you can!
I saw a film a bit like that a while ago about a man who had donated all his major organs before killing himself, but giving life to another seven (I think) people from the donations, he had to use a very poisonous jellyfish to die, but save the organs...
hhhmmmm
If you kill yourself could it save someone who's dying. Like a life for a life deal?
