In the US in 2012 94% "strongly support" organ donation and 61% are actually donors[0], so at most we can expect to double the number of registered donors -- although depending on demographics of non donors that might mean a lot more actual donors since 2.5 million die annually but there are only 30,000 organ donations. The waitlist grows by a few thousand each year (was 117,000 in 2012), so doubling the number of organ donors would solve the problem in like a decade, assuming rates stay the same -- although I bet more people would get organ transplants if it was more readily available [1]. I don't know the number of people who don't want to donate their organs but even more strongly don't want to be on the "Selfish Assholes List" (which will inevitably be leaked (increasing distrust between citizens is a nice "cyberwarfare" play)), but I suspect it's non negligible. Maybe social pressure is for the greater good, but it is a tradeoff you should be honest about. The real solution is artificial organs.
