Since you mentioned it - organ donation should be opt out, not opt in. It wouldn’t even be controversial, everybody still has freedom of choice.

We have it half way in between in NL: If you don’t opt out of organ donation, they will register: “Did not object to donation”. Without a definite yes, close family could still opt you out (after you lose the ability to share your thoughts) if they feel strongly against donating. With a difinite yes, that option is also no longer available.
I think the full “opt-out” way should be fine too, if you really feel strongly against sharing working organs, you have the option to not do it, so no one is forced to do anything, and with opt-out the amount of organs available will be much larger, saving lives.
