Aside from that part of the debate, what about people that smoke or drink excessively, are they meant to be donors?
Nothing is forced on anyone, though? It's opt-out, it just means that if you care if you have to say "no." Lots of things we think are broadly beneficial for society are opt-out, like education (the 'default' is sending your kid to school but you can 'opt-out' and homeschool if you want).
And people who smoke might have bad lungs but their sweet delicious corneas are probably fine.
