I think those that do not want thier organs to be donated are more outspoken and therefore more likely to sign a paper to opt out of donating, whereas a person that would like to be a donor may not care enough to opt-in to a donor program. This is why I believe that donating organs by default is the best thing. I wouldn't say it's targeting the lazy, It's more like it's catering to the lazy.

Something I'd also add to the bill is that if you opt out of giving organs, you also opt out of receiving them.

Edit: alansmithee, If there is no one to inherit your property when you die the state confiscates all of your property. If you don't want to donate that's fine, get a sticker.
