GARDEN CITY, N.Y. – A Long Island surgeon embroiled in a nearly four-year divorce proceeding wants his estranged wife to return the kidney he donated to her, although he says he'll settle for $1.5 million in compensation.

I'm not really sure what to say about this...

Although, I'm pretty sure kidneys don't sell for $1.5 million (obviously, they don't sell legally, but from what Google tells me, kidneys sell illegally for around $60 000)....

The 1.5 million is compensation is clearly for the loss of...whatever it is the Kidneys do for the body.

Filter the stuff you don't need so you can piss them out. You can survive with one (which this chappy has done obviously).

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure you don't live as long.

And I imagine you probably pee a bit more regularly as well.

60k for a kidney? That'd better be a golden plated kidney. 3k is more appropriate. Shop around before buying your Chinese or bum organs. Find the best price and watch for AIDS or Hep.

Also, why should he get the kidney back? He donated it to her. Asking for it back is !@#$@#$ stupid, as she probably only has one. You can survive just fine with one, you just need to watch what you eat especially well. Having a pair is really nice, however, so strive for the gold.

So yeah, the guy is a !@#$@#$ idiot.

He realized that he can't drink himself into a stupor without dying with only one kidney.

as it's illegal to sell organs, and they can only be donated, he legally doesn't have a leg to stand on (or a kidney)

No, you live just as long. You only need 1/4 the capacity of one healthy kidney to survive without problems. So if you give one away, you still have 4 times the capacity you need.

I thinks its fair enough if women can swing it so they can get half of all future earnings because they stayed at home to look after the kids. the man in this case should get the money.

Give me a butter knife and I can charge you $3.17.
If you don't want AIDS/HIV or any other diseases it's an extra $3.48.

You are cheap! It's a Deal!

It costs you that much? The acid doesn't cost too much ($4.19 a gallon) or I just throw them into my neighbours back garden.
