Thank you, Mr. Mazier.
Thank you, Ziad, for bringing this forward. I was proud to second it, and I want to thank you for telling your story, which I think really affected everyone in the House who heard it.
What you did encourages others to become living donors and also teaches all of us about the process. I know I learned a lot from seconding this bill, listening to your story and listening to the others who spoke to it.
Also, as a new member, I want to say that it was really nice to see all parties come together and agree on something so wholeheartedly. It was really encouraging for me as a new member.
Since you're the expert on this now, I wanted to ask you this: How does our country compare with other countries in the donation of organs? This seems like a necessary thing to do. Why is it necessary? I think I heard there are 4,000 on the waiting list. How do we compare to other countries per capita?
