To me everyone should be. Think it’s kind of selfish to let viable organs go to waste when people are in need for them.

    Opt out is fair at a minimum. Driving is the most dangerous thing we do, and if you’re going to do it, there’s an argument to be made that throwing your organ donor chip into the pot is the least you could do, because you could very well cause an accident someday that costs someone their life.

      I agree with you, but as someone who does not drive, I still get a state ID with my organ donor status. If the law is opt-out, it would apply for anyone getting an ID, not just drivers.

        If driving is the reason to make it opt out, I don’t see why that couldn’t be changed for state ID.

        Though really I don’t see a problem with it being opt out for all. Many places do it that way.
