There are many issues with organs from people killed in accidents. Availability, randomness of occurrence, suitability, immunity.
To be able to have a 'manufactured' supply seems much better, not least or especially if it is ultimately possible to remove all immunity problems.
The current system, whether opt-in or opt-out, is because we simply don't know how to do better. On demand grown organs using the recipient's own DNA seems to be the holy grail. I reckon we'll get there someday.
