If memory serves, you’ve said that your plan is to wait until your parents die and then kill yourself. Even if you do that and donate your organs, you should cryopreserve your head for a chance at waking up in a world you’d want to live in or could better help you with that. It’s much worse a strategy than just trying to live to see it, but still better than final death.
“Neuroseparation” is performed by surgical removal of the body below the neck at the level of the sixth cervical vertebra at a temperature near 0ºC. - - The cephalon (head), is then perfused with cryoproectants via the carotid and vertebral arteries prior to deep cooling. For neuropatients cryopreserved before the year 2000, neuroseparation was performed at the end of cryoprotective perfusion via the aorta.
If I understand correctly, at least Alcor’s current procedure for neuropreservation would be compatible with removing organs to be donated.
Thanks, it looks like I misremembered—if they’re now doing perfusion after neuroseparation then it’s much more likely to be compatible with organ donation.

Are you sure you can undergo neuropreservation while donating your organs (in light of simpleton’s comment)? Has it been done?
I don’t know of such cases. From http://www.alcor.org/Library/html/neuropreservationfaq.html

I’ve sent Alcor a question about this.
