I would guess the organ donation scene.
Sadly we already have this in the form of illegal organ trade. (even against the will of victims)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_trade#Illegal_organ_trad...
Are those <100 folks having their organs forcibly taken for resale?
Well it doesn't get your organs harvested.
Or just in case he needs a highly compatible organ donor.
I would guess it has to be a brain-dead organ donor.
Nothing wrong, just that it is a difference to donate somebody else's organs.
What if you die as a result of complications from the kidney harvesting procedure? How is that fair or right?
As long as you don't cure other people (with money) and they keep needing new organs, sure.
Explain why making organ donation after death an opt-out process would have any negative tradeoffs, let alone a net negative effect.
