I live in Austria where every person is an organ donor and you have to opt-out of it. Even children are donors if their parents don’t opt them out. As a result, more than 99% of Austrians are organ donors. It never occurred to me that it could be the other way around.
I even wonder if the opt out is reasonable. I understand being sad, but “go ahead and die, I want worms to eat my {kid’s, wife’s, husband’s} kidney” is a weird thing to (implicitly) say.
It is as easy as going to any doctor and having it added to your file. No reason, just “I don’t want that”
I think people should be able to decide what happens to their remains after they die. I’m fine with automatic registration and the ability to opt out.
As long as it automatically disqualifies them from ever receiving a transplant.
