There is a problem with the logistics of this. Organs harvested for transplant must remain alive and in good condition. They have a certain window of time that they can be kept alive outside of the body, this is usually an average of about 6 hours.

Hawaii is not an ideal place for organ harvesting because it is an island in the middle of nowhere and organs must be flown to their destinations for transplant in major hospitals.

The increased distance unnecessarily prolongs the transport time which decreases organ quality.
