- cobertos 5y agoBut that's the point OP is trying to make. It's an opt-out feature, and only once you know it's an issue and continuously making sure you're never opted back in.
- kaba0 5y agoOpt-in vs opt-out is a huge psychological difference. Opt-out organ donation has like 90+% of the population, while opt-in only around 10%. You can believe how much of a difference does that mean.
- heavyset_go 5y agoThe US is opt-in and has an organ donor rate of about 60%. More than half of adults in the US choose to opt-in, and I believe that if there were better education and marketing campaigns for organ donation, more people would sign up, too. Nothing stops Apple from doing the same education and marketing for an opt-in system.
