Actually there are some places where they can take your organs without your signature or your approval. It is assumed you are a willing donor if you have not signed a refusal.

Opt in or opt out approvals vary by location along with how death is defined. Some want cardiac death, others want brain stem death and others total brain death. There is no one standard for agreement to donate and equally important criteria for determining if you’re really dead.
