Also, I wish they created a priority system so that those who registered as organ donors had priority access to organs when needed over those that were not registered as donors.
See above. Registering amounts to saying "they registered as an organ donor, so we believe it was their wish" on the phone/in person to the family. It's by no means a binding contract. As such, signing up to move up that sort of list you propose + telling your family to decline the opportunity to donate yourself is a distinct possibility/abuse potential.

My family definitely knows my position on it in addition to the heart on my license. 
Good point. It would definitely be more complicated than just a list of donors and non-donors. I just think selfish people who don't want to donate their own organs should be last in line to receive.
Maybe create a new, additional and optional registry that is legally binding somehow. The donor can sign up saying this is what I want no matter what. Kind of like a living will? I don't know, I'm no lawyer.
