I can't help but be repulsed at the idea of my body being experimented on, though I know logically that it doesn't matter to me, and is very helpful to the scientists. Is there anything I should know to put me at ease and encourage me to donate my body to science?

If someone were to die by suicide, are the organs still suitable for donation? If an autopsy is to be carried out, is organ donation still viable?

What if a heroin addict(or anybody really) dies of drug overdose/poisoning etc? Are the organs considered 'contaminated'?

You have a morbid yet meaningful job, and that's awesome :)

edit: oh, so the donor has to die in the hospital for it to be considered. oops, irrelevant questions.
