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.
人体器官移植医学技术能力的提升，在“大西洋共同体”国家引发了类似但又有显著差异的社会和组织反应。美国高度分散的器官获取系统获取的器官数量更多；而欧洲由中央指导的系统损耗率更低。这两种方法的逐渐融合有望在器官移植方面带来显著益处和更高效率。
