Reply to comment by BostonUniStudent in The cutting-edge cellular therapies aiming to ease America's organ shortage. Major transplantation surgeries could one day become outpatient procedures. by Sariel007

true, but that'd be one extra step between me and doing something productive (given my expected time of death). it's easier for me to say yes to one thing rather than actively say no to one thing and then yes to another.

And that slight inconvenience, which would be no more work than making an account here and typing your comments, is worth half a million lives annually?

my one body does is not enough to save half a million lives, my original comment was saying why I wasn't opting in, not a comment on a presumed consent system. it seems that you are overly angry about a hypothetical situation where my one opinion decides the laws.

So you want to do something productive, but you’re unwilling to be very mildly inconvenienced by a small extra step? Opting out wouldn’t even be a difficult thing, should literally take a few moments.
