So it could be on every driver's licence renewal and tax return and so forth: check this box if you want to be a donor.
If the public authorities can decide that autopsies (with their numerous samples) are manadatory in certain circumstances, I see no reason why they couldn't decree that it's all yours while you're still using it, but then....

As for facilitating donation as things stand, the box on your driver's licence or other ID should be one that is checked if you refuse permission.
Silence on the matter should be interpreted as tacit permission. People's lives are at stake here.
