I am - in the UK - and I think that it should be opt out rather than opt in.

I'd go so far as to say there should be no choice available to opt out

I think the vast majority of people who, even if they have some discomfort around the idea, would not care enough to opt out. The only effect of not allowing opt out, I think, would be to cause considerable distress to those who do care a lot about not donating. I don't agree with their stance but I don't think they should be forced to donate, especially if we can get enough organs just from making it opt out instead of opt in
