Abstract
Improvements in the medical/technical ability to transplant human organs have led to similar--yet importantly different--societal and organizational responses among the nations of the "Atlantic Community." The highly decentralized system of organ procurement in the United States yields greater numbers; centrally directed European systems reflect lower wastage rates. An emerging convergence of the two approaches promises significant benefits and efficiencies in organ transplantation.
