Donda West Law Proposed

Assemblywoman Amina Carter of California announced last week that she has proposed the ”Donda West Law”- a law that would require all patients receiving elective plastic surgery to receive clearance from a licensed doctor, allowing doctors to ensure that patients are healthy enough to endure the potential rigors of general anesthesia.

Dr. Donda West, the mother of Kanye West, died Nov. 10 at a hospital in Los Angeles a day after undergoing breast reduction surgery, a tummy tuck and liposuction. An autopsy revealed she likely died of heart disease, coupled with complications after the surgery, “but the final manner of death could not be determined,” the report concluded.
