is it proper for someone who is brain dead and has no chance to live except on a machine to donate his organs to save another life and according to Torah?

Personally I would think it should be the individual's choice. The only problem I have with letting them make the choice is that inevitably this may be done to someone who does not choose to have it done. This is not a simple issue.
