The Donda West Law was passed by the California Senate.  If passed by Arnold it would “prohibit performance of electronic cosmetic facial surgery unless, within 30 days before the procedure, a physical examination is conducted and written clearance for surgery is provided.”

Donda West, the mother of rapper Kanye West, died in ’07 after undergoing plastic surgery without having a proper physical before hand. Her death was due to complications from the surgery as well as a preexisting coronary disease and improper postoperative care.

Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter is confident the bill will save lives. She told the L.A. Times:

“Sometimes patients may think they are well enough for cosmetic surgery, but in reality are not. This bill will potentially save lives.” Source

I hope Arnold approves the bill.  Maybe it’ll help people realize how serious plastic surgery really is.
