On the 11th of April, CBS aired an episode of its hit series starring Donate Life Ambassador and Spokesperson, Alex O'Loughlin as Commander Steve Mcgarrett. In the episode, there was a subplot involving the black market procurement of Organs from China. During an exchange with his cousin, Kono Kalakaua, the character of Chin Ho Kelly is quoted as saying...
"Auntie got sick, and needed a kidney, but you know how hard it is to get on the donor list for a transplant here on the islands."

How the Transplant System Works: Matching Donors and Recipients
Selected Quote:
"A person who may benefit from a transplant is referred by his or her doctor to a transplant center, which evaluates the patient. The transplant center runs a number of tests and considers the patient's mental and physical health, as well as his or her social support system. If the center decides to accept this person as a transplant candidate, they will add his or her medical profile to the national patient waiting list for organ transplant."
