Arnold Schwarzenegger signs law in memory of Kanye West’s mother

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a law in memory of rapper Kanye West’s mother.
The Donda West Law requires cosmetic surgery patients to undergo a physical examination before the surgery.
Donda West died in 2007 after a cosmetic procedure. She had coronary artery disease, but it was undiscovered because she didn’t undergo a physical exam before the surgery.
While she was alive, Kanye had a close relationship with his mother. She accompanied him to several celebrity events, and she was always by his side on the red carpet.
Shortly after her death, Kanye continued to perform during concerts, and I don’t think he had time to properly grief.
I’m not making excuses for him, but maybe that’s why he’s prone to random outbursts.

Hi Tim,
I think that it is such a shame this wasn’t a law in the first place. I hope this will prevent anyone else from having surgery under those circumstances. RIP Donda.
Thanks for the post.
