The organ shortage is one of the most pressing concerns facing the transplantation community, and the gap between supply and demand continues to widen [1]. An average of 22 people die daily in the United States awaiting lifesaving organs of all types [2]. Public policy initiatives have long aimed to increase organ donor designation, most recently through the use of educational campaigns, broadening the criteria for acceptable organs, and social network campaigns [3-6]. Yet, in 2013, the percentage of adult US residents designated as donors was less than half (48 percent) [7]
