Can a person donate their organs if they have committed suicide?

Yeah everything but their brain.

You forgot the parallel question: "If an organ donor lusts in his heart, will he be able to go to heaven by giving his sinful heart to someone else?"\n\nRaw deal for the recipient, I think. ;)\n\nI also wonder, what happens if my spleen is sinful but my appendix is a decent sort of organ? Does my spleen go to hell, while the rest of me goes to heaven?

I'ed first make sure an organ donation was set up and would be taken care of. Then I'ed make sure my brother would get all my money and stuff and would be taken care of. My funeral would be a party, I would write out little requests of things I didn't have time to do, everything from sky diving to adopting a child, I would ask the people that loved me to pick one and do it, along with something they always wanted to do, then get together a year after I died and share with each other what they did and how it changed them. You're right if we live like we were dying and we take care of the things and people in our life today, not only can we make our life worth living, but our loved ones can help us live on, not only in their memories, but their actions.

Committing suicide I believe is a sin. God put each person here for a reason and He will take each person out at the time He wants them out. I don't believe there are exceptions. The twin towers... what if they could've saved another person's life just by not jumping. Cancer patients... God sometimes allows you to go through spiritual tests. Even if you were going to die, what if someone needed to hear something they needed to say... hey you never know God's plans. The chemical imbalance thing can be controlled no matter the circumstances even if its straping them down to a bed and making them live on injected "food". Committing suicide is taking your life into your own hands and pretty much spitting in the face of God saying that He is powerless to do anything about the current situation. I don't know if it will lead you to hell. I heard once that every single person has that split second to make a decision before they die if they believe in God, but who's really to know but God.

Testicles are like kidneys we only need one.  You may be able to arrange something third party but as far as i know organ sale in this country is illegal.

In the statement, you said he "commits suicide". It's therefore understood that he was successful in taking his life and no one saved him. So that means that he cannot contribute to society anymore. If you meant that he tried to commit suicide but didn't succeed, then he will continue to live and maybe contribute to society. But the statement as written is valid.

It's not an urban legend, there is a black market for human organs, mostly in 3rd world countries.  I think that we should be able to sell them under certain conditions, such as psychoanalysis that proves that the person understands what they are doing.

Yes.\n\nCatholics believe suicide when committed in full knowledge and deliberate consent is a complete turning away from God (a mortal sin) and will send a person to hell.\n\nThere are 3 conditions of a mortal sin: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent. \n\nWhile suicide (or any kind of murder) is always a grave matter, people who commit suicide may not always have full knowledge of what they're doing. Drugs can definitely impair one's thinking, as can other things, such as diseases, intense pain, or anguish. \n\nTherefore, suicide is not automatically treated as a mortal sin. \n\nWe are commanded by Christ not to judge others so we leave final judgment to God who alone knows each person's heart.\n\nWith love in Christ.

To different questions.  A person is declared dead by a doctor in most states.  (Some allow paramedics or RNs in certain situations to do it, but most require a doctor)\n\nA person is available to be harvested only if a family member consents to it.  Once they have consent they see if there is anything they can harvest.  By law they can't begin this process/conversation until the person is dead.  Also the doctor declaring the patient dead can't have any interest in the transplant.  (can't be his patient getting the organs, a family member getting them, can't be the one harvesting them, etc)

Yes, you can make that request, but it's up to the pertinent authorities to decide whether your request is granted or not. This decision will depend greatly on the circumstances surrounding the demise. If the deceased had a history of a terminal or life-threatening disease, and there's no evidence suggesting that foul-play or medical malpractice was involved, then an autopsy will not be necessary. If the person died under suspicious circumstances [suspected homicide, suicide or drug overdose], the person was alone or unattended at the moment of death, any kind of violence such as child abuse, domestic violence or signs of other criminal activity is involved or suspected, or the cause of death cannot be established by an external examination of the body, then an autopsy is in order. It is also mandatory if a person dies in a hospital less than 48 hours after being admitted for treatment.

You need to talk to your physician about that.  Transplant patients are all different and needs individual assesment.

the guy that help sick people kill themselves yes why? do you need his address or something?

Of course NOT. Some answerers above answered "we can do whatever we want to ourselves" but that's WRONG. You can take drug if you want? No you cannot. There is such a thing called SOCIETAL IMPACT. In economics we call it Negative Externality. Some answerers above gave a good answer by saying that allowing people to sell their organ will lead to more crime, whether it's people "robbing" someone's organ, or corporate crime whereby companies exert their influence to manipulate the organ transplant process to maximize their monetary profits.\n\nI hope stem cell research can take off soon -- THAT is the hope in the medical community.

yes of course.\n\nMurder is a crime and not permitted by the 10 commandments. If you feel the urge and desperate enough to kill yourself, just bare in mind, life in hell will be worse. At least whilst you are still here, you can get some support and help to get better.\n\nSuicide is murder . Don't do it or you will burn in hell

It may take several extra hours before your body is given to the funeral home/whatever (while the donation surgery is being arranged).\n\nA very small inconvenience compared to the lives you'll be saving.
