Andreas Brøgger Albertsen, a social researcher at Aarhus University, challenges the Danish Ethical Council's claims regarding a new organ donation model. The proposed model would shift from an opt-in to an opt-out system, known as presumed consent, where individuals are automatically considered donors unless they actively opt out.
The Ethical Council opposes the model and refers to a 2021 report from the Danish Center for Organ Donation, which argues that there is no clear evidence that presumed consent increases the number of donors. Albertsen, who criticizes this report, points out that it is methodologically flawed and does not consider all relevant studies. He believes that the report's narrow focus on legal changes, rather than broader factors such as increased public awareness, limits its findings. Albertsen argues that although proving the exact effect is difficult, the new system is likely to benefit the number of donors.

Lau Lilleholt Harpviken talks about lies and why everyone lies sometimes. He argues that we lie when it is beneficial – whether it is beneficial is determined based on six major factors, including the potential benefits one might gain or the drawbacks one can avoid, the likelihood of getting caught, and three additional psychological factors. Additionally, research shows that individuals with antisocial personality traits typically lie more about things that benefit themselves, while the opposite is true for individuals with prosocial personality traits.
