Abstract: | New strategies are needed to encourage organ donation. Altruism, the impulse that underlies our present system, is undermined by proposals that provide tangible inducements to improve donation which are, in their own subtle ways, coercive. I propose a new strategy based on implementing an option to donate that reinforces the strong reciprocity which drives anonymous altruism. |
