A California Assemblywoman is seeking to pass a new law that would require patients to have medical clearance from a liscensed doctor before undergoing plastic surgery.
According to the Daily Bulletin, Yolanda Anderson, Donda West's niece, reached out to California State Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter, who introduced the "Donda West Law" on Friday, February 22.
Donda West died at a Los Angeles hospital in November 2007, a day after going under the knife for breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction.
Her autopsy revealed she likely died of a pre-existing heart disease coupled with multiple postoperative factors.

According to Anderson, Kanye is supporting the cause and has offered to help in any way that he can.
“Kanye is ecstatic and very grateful,” said Anderson.
“He said, `You started this. Now run with it and let me know how I can help.”

Just wish this had already been in effect. Hopefully this will prevent any other deaths, celebrity or not.
I back Kanye 100%
First off Rip MRS WEST. Second, well this is gonna sound fucked up but, of course you should be in good medical shape to under the knife. You can lose large amounts of blood if you cant clot during surgery, too high of blood pressure will cause you to go into cardiac arrest during surgery. People should already know this before goin into any surgery. Really it aint even the Doctors performing the surgery that you gotta worry bout, its the anesthesiolgist, the ones who sedate you, too much and youre done, too little and you wake up unable to anything about it.
Kanye goin to be super cold now
Their should be penalties for Dr.'s who do surgeries without having an examination because they know that a lot of patients are desperate and know that alot of patients won't get checked due to the cost or time and they will look at it as a short cut and because Dr.'s do know their is an importance for having the medical examination and because their #1 priorty is their patients health they should want to take all measures to make sure their pateint not only come out of the surgery happy but alive and healthy. Patients put thier lives in Dr.'s hand and if Dr.'s aren't willing to do their job and take all measures to keep their patients safr then they should loose their licenses because they are not putting their patients 1st.
