Subject: Organ donor = good idea for cryonicists?

I understand that brain-dead accident victims are often times kept on heart
lung machines if they are organ donors, until the organs can be harvested.
Would it be possible to sign the organ donorship card, but somehow
stipulate that the organs could only be harvested after the suspension
folks had arrived (assuming of course one were signed up for suspension)
and were prepared to start the suspension? I'd be interested to hear
comments regarding whether this is legal, feasible, practical, etc, as a
strategy to minimize brain ischemia in the event of accidental death.

Thanks
Jim
