Really? This is what shows Facebook to be irresponsible?

I didn't see many folks on HN complaining that Facebook/Google/etc. shouldn't take an advocacy position on SOPA, so it strikes me as odd how controversial Facebook taking one on organ donation is.

That's because Facebook and Google had legitimate business interests involved in SOPA. Unless Facebook is getting into the organ donation business, I don't see how your example is relevant.
