Opt-out is forcing those who don't know, and begging those who do. Opt-in is begging. And you know, we've started with begging (not even opt-in), then added opt-in, now we're onto opt-out, which might make one wonder: what's the next step? The obvious answer is that if we continue on this path we won't even get to opt out (force). 3. Nonsense. The next of kin of a dead person gets to decide burial options, and much more. And there's no reason a living person couldn't have the right to decide what is to be done with their body after death. Does the State own you, or do you own yourself? If the latter, you get to sell your dead body; if the former, you don't get to sell your dead body.
