A grabby atitude like that is likely to turn decent folk away from donations altogether. No one has a right to another's organs. They are gifts, given or not at the doner's pleasure.

Sorry, I don't see it as a grabby attitude. Remember, under that system, you'd have full rights to decline, or to have your family decline, organ donation. There are parallel situations. Suppose you were killed in an industrial accident or a crime? You would be autopsied -- no choice in the matter at all, because society presumes the right to information in matters of justice. It's not exactly the same, I admit. But there is a terrible societal cost to letting 80,000 people a year die for lack of kidneys.
