And people who think so can opt-out obviously. Unless you think organ donations as a whole are a bad idea, opt-out is the right thing to do.

I actually do not necessarily agree with your last sentence. I think that organ donations as a whole are a good idea, but I don't think takings are a good default for all cases. I'm not sure about this case, partly because of the sticky issue of ownership and transfer, which I won't bother going into unless someone asks.
