"The National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) has released a statement about Zion’s death, urging for legislation to be passed preventing this kind of discrimination from happening again. 'We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Zion Sarmiento, an infant with Down syndrome who was denied the heart transplant he needed to survive,' the NDSS wrote on Facebook. Our team has been in touch with Zion’s family in Florida, and we are working closely with them and others to advance policy and practices that ensure people with Down syndrome have equal access to life-saving organ transplants. Stories like Zion’s are why NDSS advocates for state-level legislation and why we have championed the Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act (H.R. 1235) in Washington, D.C. They further directed followers to contact Congress to push for action on a ban on transplant discrimination, as well as to join the Zion’s ARMY Facebook page." (LiveAction, 10/22/21)
