How, precisely, would you indicate that "choice" to those of us who were still living? In the absense of a written will or a "sticker," the decision should always default to the family, and then the government. What other choice is there? By putting an opt-out sticker, this simply solidifies an already implicit rule so that people can be "donated" without so much litigation.
