I registered as a donor in the UK. I received a leaflet saying that I should discuss this with my relatives because apparently those people have the power to kill the person needing my organs [1]. Fuck that.

Where I live it is opt out, not opt in.

Same here.

same. people that opt-out have 'non-donor' on their ids (my father is not a donor -- not sure why tbf)

No need in my country, it is opt-out instead of opt-in :)

Should be in the UK as well, it's been floated a few times as an idea.

As of December 2015, it is opt-out in Wales.
