We can make organ donation an opt-out checkbox.

But the question is when would they donate their organs? (Making the assumption that most organ donations come from people in car accidents).

I think the parents point is that we have seen in some places (Netherlands?) that a dramatic increase in organ donors happened when they switched from opt-in to opt-out.

In Portugal we have opt-out, while here in Germany it is opt-in, I never understood the decision, exactly because of what you mention.
