Last I heard, the percentage of people in Hawaii that are listed to donate their organs so others can have a chance at a full life is the same as those who know how to perform CPR, a sickening 5%.
The article states that a paultry 37 people donated, most after death, no doubt. Sounds like the % is even less than 5%.
This is outrageous! Talk about no Aloha...
16 people died needlessly last year, just in Hawaii, because so few are willing to do the easiest thing on earth, give up their otherwise wasted body parts after life.
There is no excuse for this thoughtlessness. Get with it, people!
Donate, and learn CPR, so you can save lives. How hard is that?
The UH has a program available for those who wish to go even further and donate their entire body to medical research, afterwhich, they give a very respectful ceremony in Waikiki as they then scatter the ashes in the waters off Waikiki. What better way to go?
This will be my final way of saying thanks, and is exactly what I would have had done anyway, to be with my friends and heros that have been before me into Mamala bay.
