Interesting. What about donating non-vital or machine-replaceable organs while near death, and then cryo-preserving whatever's left? That is, donate a kidney or something, at least. As technology improves, maybe one day you could live without even a heart, and have a machine pump the blood.
IAWYC, and donating a kidney is definitely a good idea. Though it might be best to do it before you get old so that both you and the kidney can handle it better. One thing to point out:
At that point, donor hearts wouldn't be that useful.
