It was just about four years ago that Westchester Assemblyman Richard Brodsky abandoned his campaign for attorney general as he prepared to donate a kidney to his teenaged daughter, Willie.
Brodsky and Willie -- who ended up getting a kidney not from her dad, but from a cadaver donor -- are still campaigning to change state laws on organ donations to a "presumed consent" model. (That means the state would presume people agree to donate their organs after death unless they specify otherwise.)
I caught up with them at the state Capitol this week, where father and daughter -- who's now 18 and a freshman at NYU -- had this to say about their crusade.
