Mandated choice is a situation or scenario in which people must make a decision in advance with respect to whether they wish to participate in a particular action – they are required by law to make that choice.

These decisions are usually “public policy” decisions e.g. deciding whether to donate your organs when you die, deciding whether to make a “living will” etc.
