Opt-out makes it much easier to disregard the wishes of the person involved.
Although I have not worked in an ER, I feel safe in saying that a lot of people arrive unaccompanied, without their driver's license.
Under opt-out, those people are automatic donors, no matter what their wishes are.
Some have expressed amazement that anyone wouldn't be a donor. I'm amazed at the number of people who would dictate what is to be done with the bodies of others.
