Document Summary

If you have 5,10,100, you"re comparing the 100 to the 5 and it sounds expensive. If it"s 100,10,5, the 5 is really cheap relative to the 100 i can donate. Germany it was down to 12% (really low). They looked at the form, and the france you"re an organ donor by default and you have to check a box to say i don"t want to be a donor, and most people don"t check that box. The opposite is happening for germany; they have to check a box in order to be an organ donor. If you ask somebody about it, they"ll come up with a sort of explanation to why they are a donor or why not. Whatever the default is, they"ll follow true with it we can call it the default heuristic. For those who shop at kosco, the box is bigger, you eat more food.
