To the Editor: Changes in how a choice is presented can affect the actions of decision makers, who have a tendency to stick with the default option.1- 3 For example, organ donation rates are much higher in an opt-out system (donor status is the default, explicitly opting out is required if a person does not want to donate) than in an opt-in system (nondonor status is the default, explicitly opting in is required if a person wants to be a donor).4 Both systems give decision makers autonomy to choose according to their personal principles, but the opt-out system provides a “nudge”5 toward donation.
