This sounds like "choice architecture" [...]

What parts of the Bush Administration version are better, in your opinion?

[WilliamofCarmichael]

I suppose "choice architecture" has been around since the beginning of time. The strong imposing it upon the weak -- and it's common in merchandising. It's not always bad.

My opposition is specific to the "Death Book." The article said that the Bush Adm. stopped the use of the "Death Book." My opposition is to the "Death Book" as described in this and other articles.

I'd be surprised that the Bush Adm. had an alternative that was much if any different than prior administrations since W.W.II. W.W.I?
