Sounds more like he's treating it as marital property that should be taken into account in any division and distribution of the couple's assets.
Good point and usually...when you do that...it's a gift.

Gift of Life.

I could be wrong tho.

I know a guy, a twin, who has had extensive kidney problems, and he and his brother have both had kidney transplants.

His brother got a kidney from his girlfriend. They broke up, and now the girl is dating the other twin. I wonder how weird it is to know that your kidney is inside your ex-boyfriend, who happens to be your boyfriend's twin brother?

Typing that out made my head spin.

Now the way I look at it is that the dear doctor is trying to make it sound like a Black Market Kidney. It was a gift for Pete's sake? Did he ask for compensation for the wedding ring that he bought her or the honeymoon that he paid for?

Rediculous!

He probably didn't ask for "compensation" but those will be included in the division of assets as part of the divorce . . . and he's basically angling for the kidney to do the same, and offset her "take" from the kitty. It's a much more interesting angle than I think you're giving credit.

I watched it on the news. This guy totally took the cake for me. I've seen some really absurd things on the news and have read nonsense in the paper, but this totally is far beyond everything. What an IDIOT. Isn't he a Dr. too?

You people seem to be overlooking the fact that she cheated on him with her physical therapist.

He saved her life by giving her his own damn kidney and she cheats on him. She is a total scumbag and deserves to be assessed the estimated cost.

She is denying the allegation.

Interesting blog entry by a doctor - I learned a few things about the case I hadn't read elsewhere.
