He writes,
Every family confronts the impending death of loved ones. I wrote a book, “The Better End,” to support them. I also did a major overhaul of our organ donation laws. Now, Maryland has one of best organ donation collection and distribution systems in the country. People still come up to me and say, “Thanks to you, I’m alive with a new heart.”

"Dr. Morhaim helps [us] to see that while death does have its sting, it need not be bitter, and each of us can prepare for the end in better ways." – Maya Angelou
