Gift of Life Michigan Celebrates Passage of Legislation Protecting Rights of Living Organ Donors
Gift of Life Michigan, a non-profit organization dedicated to organ and tissue donation, is excited to announce the passing of legislation that safeguards the rights of living organ donors in the state of Michigan. This significant milestone ensures that individuals who selflessly choose to donate their organs while still alive are protected by law.
The measure, known as SB 384, was sponsored by Senator Kevin Hertel and received overwhelming support from both the Michigan House and Senate. It was recently signed into law by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, affirming the state’s commitment to promoting organ donation and supporting donors.
With this legislation in place, organ donors can now feel confident that their rights will be protected throughout the entire donation process. This includes legal provisions for ensuring their well-being, privacy, and medical care. The passing of this bill marks a significant step forward in Michigan’s efforts to encourage organ donation and save more lives.
Gift of Life Michigan applauds Senator Kevin Hertel, the Michigan House and Senate, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer for their dedication to this important cause. By prioritizing the rights of living organ donors, Michigan is leading the way in creating a supportive environment for organ transplantation and ultimately improving the lives of those in need.
