I grew up in countries that didn't have helmet laws, where 2-wheel vehicles significantly out number cars.
I also reside in a state that does not have mandatory helmet requirement for motorcycle riders.
Speaking for myself, I like to have the choice myself whether to wear a helmet or not while riding my motorcycle.
But reality is: people are stupid; when given the choice, stupid people are going to do stupid things and have higher chance of losing their lives without a helmet.
If that allows more people who need organ transplant to survive longer, be thankful for loving longer.. I rather have thankful people live than stupid people... but there is no guarantee that all will be thankful.
