I think it's interesting to ask whether people in the opt-out countries are really consenting. Can you really say someone has consented if you never actually made the request?

Personally, I don't really see that much value in the affirmative consent of the dead. Viable organs are hard to get, and save lives. I think it's worth it to keep it opt-out.
