Question:

Some countries (including the United States) require explicit consent for organ donation at death; others presume that an individual consented unless he or she explicitly opted out. In countries that require explicit consent, fewer than 30 percent of adults are potential organ donors. In most opt-out countries, more than 98 percent are eligible. Can you reconcile this pattern with standard economic theory? What do you think is the explanation? Why do you think the effect is so strong?
