Ultimately, if a loved one's life could be saved by an organ donation, I would want it to be, and therefore I cannot ethically and logically not be on the organ donation list myself. Any other conclusion is, to my mind, selfish and antithetical to the society I want to live in. So it's really as simple as that. I understand fears such as your own from a human point of view, and they should absolutely be addressed if they're stopping people from becoming organ donors, but I do think it's unfortunate. So many lives could be saved... Hopefully more and more countries will adopt an 'opt-out' system going forward, because it seems to make a huge difference. And as for this article, I have no problem with clarifying the definition of death. If there's no electrical activity in my brain, I see no harm (literally "no harm" in the Hippocratic sense) in removing my organs before I'm taken off life support.
