Accepting your premise that all of these things are equivilent, when you change mask rules or required vaccinations, etc, you need to let everyone know. So if they don't agree, they can protest, or leave, or attempt to arrange the circumstances of their death to prevent the removal of their organs (it's haddly a donation if it's forced).

I'm trying not to argue for or against opt-in vs opt-out or no choice, that's a fine discussion to have, but this thread was more about notice.

There was extensive publication as the law was being discussed in parliament, and when it was passed.

It's more important to tell people when the green and white papers are being read and when the bill is being discussed, and then when the law is made, and there was a lot of publicity then.
