Now I will address something that not a lot of people talk about. Organ donations. Everyone makes such a big fuss about the person commiting suicide and how it was selfish of them, but if they were organ donors, they were doing one of the most selfless things they could’ve done.

But, if this bill is passed, there will at least be doctors close to home that will offer this service to families in
