Summary:In this empirical research project, Robertson et al sought to explore the political feasibility of potential policy reforms to address the shortage of cadaveric organs for transplantation in America. They recruited 730 human subjects from an online population and assigned them to writing tasks that experimentally manipulated the salience of moral and posthumous risks. Their data suggest that cultural cognition and perceptions of risk do not drive policy choices about organ reform. Adapted from the source document.
