Wales has relatively recently moved to "opt-out". It appears to have already made a huge positive difference.
I was disgusted at how many people opted out though. The Welsh aren't generally thought of as selfish.
I had opted in long before the change, why would I hoard my meat bits when I die?
I should stress, in Wales at least, it is still worth explicitly opting in. The presumed consent only applies if you die in Wales. If you died on the wrong side of the Severn, like a trip to Cribbs Causeway over the border in England had a tragic twist, the presumed consent doesn't apply.
