Pretty much. Even if you are designated as an organ donor on your license, the hospitals still have to have written consent from a spouse or a family member before they'll take your organs.

So, if I decide that I don't want Mr. AXiD670's organs donated, even though it says he is an organ donor on his driver's license, I can prevent them from taking his organs.
