Recently, I called to cancel a service that I was automatically opted in by Singtel a few months ago. The act took about 10mins of my time. It was cordially attended to without fuss.
Well the "auto opt in" was applied on an inconsequential service by a big company on a group of subscriber. No big deal, right? Not unless the same model is applied on your vital organs!!!
Well recently again, there was a person in coma. Its family members have to go to war with a group of doctors and medical personnels over the right to harvest the vital organs of that person who was in coma and has been medically certified brain dead.
The family members were clinging on to hope that the person would come out of coma. The medical team was trying to ensure quality of those organs and thus a better chance of usability to the recipients.
The right has been granted by law where you are deemed to have consented to donating your vital organs UNLESS you have acted to opt OUT.
Two "auto opt in" situations with very differing gravity.

BBC reported that a woman from Colorado woke up after 6 years from her coma.
This is a reason to hope.
