The first 2 Paragraphs:
"Richard Batista can live with his broken heart. He just can't bear his cheating wife living with his healthy kidney.

The Long Island doctor wants the one-time love of his life to pay $1.5 million for the organ he bestowed on her eight years ago in a gift meant to save her life and their floundering marriage."

Commentary: Is it sad I agree with him? He gave her more than his heart, but his literal freakin' kidney and she cheats on him. I'd demand it back too...ungrateful hussy!

Possession is nine tenths of the law. ;)

a gift meant to save her life and their floundering marriage

Why does that remind me of a woman getting pregnant to keep a marriage together?

[The Stryker]

Guy gave the woman his kidney so she could live. She didn't force him to do that so he screwed himself over.

Screw this guy.

[Ninjinister]

What's he going to do, regift the damn thing? Stryker's right, he made a choice, the end result didn't end well. While I abhor anyone who cheats on their significant other, he's SOL here with good reason. He deserves squat.

[Mecha Cow]

It's unreasonable for him to expect her to give back an organ, but I can't really side with the wife here either since she's a cheating bitch.

[Voltron]

She should be forced to give him her boobs.

Guy gave the woman his kidney so she could live. She didn't force him to do that so he screwed himself over.

He gave it voluntarily. Even if she cheated on him, she doesn't have to pay him.

[The Stryker]

Thats what I said.

[Buslady]

pretty silly lawsuit. it'll get thrown out.

[Peanut]

Poor, Locke. At least he just wanted to know WHY!

[Evenstar227]

Also:

The Long Island doctor wants the one-time love of his life to pay $1.5 million for the organ he bestowed on her eight years ago

Wouldn't there be a statute of limitations or something? Anyway, if he GAVE it to her, it's hers. Just like if he gifted jewelry to her, upon divorcing she would still keep it. Right?

[Ninjinister]

Poor, Locke. At least he just wanted to know WHY!

Ha ha ha ha ha! Totally didn't even think of that.

[ToTheNines]

Homeboy's a baby

She should be forced to give him her boobs.

:lol::lol::lol:

[KROW]

Why would he want it back after 8 years of use? It's probably in piss-poor condition by now.

That's one scornful guy. I've heard of asking for all your stuff back but that's a bit much. He should just punch her in the gut and be done with it, that's obviously what he wants to do. He's just trying to destroy her public image by making it known to everyone that she's a cheating whore.

[Machias Banshee]

They have to be very careful with this situation. I think it's riduculous to demand a Donated organ, it's assumed to be a Permanent thing. But there's those people who do the whole selling organs market that could very well abuse this kinda thing. Make a person pay a fortune for a kidney or a liver, and then turn around and sue the person for it's return.

Frivilous lawsuits like this are what's wrong with the system. Yes, the woman's a cheating skank, but that kidney belongs to her now.

Maybe I'm just far more vindictive than I ever imagined.
