I donāt know how good these things are compared to donor registration drives.
As I mentioned before, Iām not claiming that any of these examples are necessarily better! Iām just trying to gesture to the number of other options groups might have, and the fact that it would be good to see even very rough cost-benefit analyses for different options.
For example, organ donation registration drives are indeed easy, discrete, and scalable, but even if promoting legislation isnāt quite as good on those fronts, perhaps the expected impact is good enough to make it a better bet in some places and times.
CPR is rarely successful, especially when performed by non-professionals outside of a hospital, so I doubt it beats organ donation, but itās a plausible thing a group could look into. Other first-aid-ish interventions seem more promising, and EA groups could even consider expanding into other āsocial interventionā areas (e.g. a workshop on when it makes sense to call 911 if you see someone who looks to be very ill/āunconscious).
All of that said, Iād have no objection whatsoever to a group running a well-organized donor registration drive, for the reasons I noted in my first post.
