That's not what the debate is. It's about the dark pattern of opt-out in which other people make the choice for you and being forced to opt out of it. Many people, myself included, are for organ donation but oppose opt-out as unethical and dangerous.

There's an equally compelling argument that 'opt-in' is a dark pattern, that 'makes the choice for you' and forces you to do paperwork. Its equally troubling to imagine your organs go to waste after you die because of incomplete paperwork. Why are not those concerned about that, given equal time?

I wonder how many people opted out just to protest the 'opt-in by default' law.
