This article is of course a joke, but it raises and interesting point.

if you opt out, you are opting out entirely - from giving and receiving.
would those who refuse to donate organs change their tune if they were told they also couldn't receive one?
you get what you give.
does refusal also imply that you wouldn't like someone elses organs in you either?
obviously with freedom of choice this would never become a rule - but should it?
even though its ridiculous, i understand somewhat people with religious reasons - even though its not really their own choice, its down to the rules of the religion - but i think people who won't just for reasons such as "it's icky", or they just don't like the sound of it etc ... should they be faced with this prospect?
should it be an opt out, rather than an opt in system?
