A US man divorcing his wife is demanding that she return the kidney he donated to her or pay him $1.5m (£1m) in compensation.
Dr Richard Batista told reporters that he decided to go public because he was frustrated at the slow pace of divorce negotiations with his estranged wife.
He said he had not only given his heart to his wife, Dawnell, but donated his kidney to save her life.
But divorce lawyers say a donated organ is not a marital asset to be divided.
Dr Batista married Dawnell in 1990 and donated the kidney to her in 2001. She filed for divorce in 2005 and a settlement has still not been reached.

Re: Odd Divorce Settlement :S
hell no!
but i wonder what happened between 2001 and 2005 that made her not want to be with him anymore. he saved her life, then 4 years later they hate eachother and want to divorce? thats very odd.

Re: Odd Divorce Settlement :S
I remember seeing this on the news like a week ago. Haha, it's certainly odd. The situation kind of reminds me of Superbad. Apparently it was a 1 in 7000 chance in finding a match for a kidney and just by chance, the husband was a perfect fit.
I wonder how bad their relationship must have been for the wife to still want a divorce after her husband does something like that. Either that, or she's just a bitch.

Re: Odd Divorce Settlement :S
If she finds another match, she should probably give back her husband's kidney. $1.5 million is a lot of money.

What the hell? You can't demand something like that. Well, apparently you can, but that's beside the point.

Re: Odd Divorce Settlement :S
If i was her/him, I won't do anything. they fucked their relationship up, their problem, their fault. They got themselves into the mess they're probably going to live with forever. ._. Her husband's an ass; he once loved the woman. How much do you hate her to want back the kidney you gave her?! That's fucking mental.

I wouldn't give the kidney back if I was that woman. But I wouldn't pay him either.. I would run away somewhere far, hide and never come back

Re: Odd Divorce Settlement :S
The cuntface is this situation is the husband imo, he gave her that kidney to save her life, but appearently he's so much of a loser that his wife couldn't stay with him, even after he gave her his organ, don't jump into assumptions and call his wife a bitch, coz as far as we know,she didn't do anything wrong, but that cunt asked for his kidney back, ignoring the fact that she might die.
Giving her his kidney was a heroic thing to do, but asking for 1.5 Million $ or his kidney back doesn't just make him a bastard, it makes him an .....What's the word? ...yeah an LTS.

Re: Odd Divorce Settlement :S
There's just too much we don't know about them that it's hard to make a judgement. Don't get me wrong though, I mean, asking for a kidney back after you've given it away is pretty fucked.
