Sempolinski's Organ Donation Legislation
Canisteo Republican Assemblyman Joe Sempolinski is sponsoring a bill to create the Organ Donation Fairness Act. That’s to ensure people with physical or mental disabilities are not discriminated against if they need an organ donation. “This issue is near and dear to my heart. My daughter, my hero, Jojo, has multiple congenital heart defects. She also has Down Syndrome. Jojo’s life and the lives of all New Yorkers with disabilities are as precious and sacred as anyone else’s life and they deserve equal treatment and consideration if they need an organ transplant,” Assemblyman Sempolinski said. "All life is sacred – and just because an individual has a physical or intellectual disability, doesn’t mean they should be lower on the list to receive life-saving care,” Sen. Ortt said. “The Americans with Disabilities Act expressly prohibits discrimination against these individuals, yet it still exists in our healthcare system when a person with disabilities is in need of an organ donation. This legislation would level the field and protect individuals with disabilities from discriminatory practices.”
