Implementing an “Opt-out” policy sounds like a reasonable solution to help alleviate organ donor problems. However, I think it’s as likely to happen as getting the tech oligarchs to allow Congress to implement an “Opt-in” policy for our citizens, so they can only gain access to our personal information if we choose to sell it to them.

I thought opt-out might run-up against religious or age related problems; turns out neither are much of a consideration concerning donation of organs. Most of the UK is opt-out, but they still talk to the families and urge individuals to let their families know their wishes. That sounds logical as well.
