For those who think you should have to opt-out of organ donation - what other things should be considered "implied consent"? If a girl gets drunk and passes out at a party, should we assume she has given her "implied consent" to be raped? Should she have to opt-out to be entitled to the prosecution of her attacker?
Oh, but I get it, my comparison is ridiculous because rape is bad and organ donation is good! Read that again - organ DONATION is good. Organ looting and plundering is something else.
The California bill seems to be decent - there's no automatic opt-in or opt-out - the form is simply considered incomplete until a choice is made. It's the same as giving someone the form back for forgetting to fill out their name.
In Illinois, though, we really are going after "implied consent".
