Donda West Inspires New Law
Nearly two years ago, the mother of Kanye West, Donda West, 58, died as a result of complications from a cosmetic surgical procedure. As a result, a new law passed Wednesday in California.
According to the Los Angeles Times, state lawmakers approved a new measure, called the Donda West Law, which makes health checks and a written clearance mandatory before being allowed to undergo plastic surgery.
"Sometimes patients may think they are well enough for cosmetic surgery, but in reality are not," Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter told the paper. "This bill will potentially save lives."
Prior to her death, West was instrumental in her son's career. Her close-knit relationship with the Grammy Award-winning superstar lead to her managing, and serving as CEO of, West Brands, LLC, in addition to co-founding the Kanye West Foundation, a nonprofit organization designed to decrease the dropout rate in schools across America.

How about a new law requiring patients to follow all the previous medical advice. If she had listened to all her other doctors her ass would be alive today.
