    How dare the doctors send off the kidneys that were a match for Fred Lucero. Hawaii first if that donation was from a local donor. Investigators need to be looking at the money exchanged here. Lucero desperately need hope for a better life. My sincere prayers for hope and health go out to all involved.

    The reason I think kidneys donated are living the islands to other states and not helping here on the island , cause they’re making more money

      The same govt we've had forever? Let's ask hirono. Honestly what does she do for the regular people in Hawaii? I don't mean Obama and her other uber rich friends, I mean the people who live here?

    What about those locals donating their kidneys, mandating that their kidneys stay in Hawaii. To say that the recipients here are mostly minimally matched, sounds like bu-la-i’a to me.

      it's mainly diet and lifestyle. and by diet I mean we in Hawaii grow up eating plate lunches and fast food burgers. like one of those meal deal specials have about twice the sodium that you should have daily. and not everybody go out and keep active. and yeah I have CKD as well.

      It’s about illegal organ harvesting - all of it is illegal - put into the laws under umbrella of fraudulent diagnosis of brain death. You all need to wake up to the fact that we didn’t have it before 1968 and then the fraudulent diagnosis was invented in Harvard university to cover up for this half a century old genocide generating over 50 billions just in 2020 for example in USA. We are numero uno transplantation country in the world. And diagnosis of brain death was changed since late 60’s multiple times to irreversible coma, near death, vegetative state, etc. Wake up!!!
