Hey FYI in the US it has to be this way. In certain states they have an opt-out on drivers license forms, but that's still technically an opt-in. Being a body-donor can't benifit you, so thus your direct consent is needed for it.

I feel like this is more an issue of poor healthcare than personal choice. It seems like rather than the U.S. chosing to be opt-in, they are physically unable to give everyone the choice to opt-out.

No. It's a thing due to its liberal legal system.
