Is Organ Donations in the US voluntary?

At the moment in the UK there is a petition that every UK resident should be a doner unless they 'Opt Out'. This I do not like.

As for the specifics of 'How you are pronounced dead' etc, I'm not sure where the UK stands on this. Although, you are only pronounced dead after verification by 2 specialists who are independant to the transplant team.

Yes - it's an opt in thing here in the US - they ask you when you renew your drivers license. Quite frankly, I don't plan on being a doner unless things like what I mention are fixed.
