I personally am torn in the issue. Whilst I don't want to be selfish, and I'd of course appear so if I were in the position where I needed a heart transplant, the thought of my body being cut up for spare parts is a little gruesome. That said, the "opt out" system is much better than the current one, as people would be more motivated and compelled to opt out of it if they disagreed with it, which I, unfortunately, would do.

I saw someone on a BBC Have Your Say, who said "those who decide to opt out should automatically be put on a parallel list disallowing them the right to other peoples' organs should they require them". This, I disagree with. There's a difference between needing an organ, and choosing to donate. Whilst I respect those who decide to donate, I shouldn't be criticised for choosing not to. It's my body.
