One thing to know that is somewhat unique to bone marrow transplants, is that you need a lot of people registered in order to find anyone who will match. It's not like you can go pay someone for their bone marrow and be done with it, you need to find that one person amongst millions.

That changes the incentives a lot. When you register, some day you may get a call that you are the one person in the world that can save someone's life.

On the other hand, the incentive to sign up would probably improve.
