There are things not worth giving up when in a relationship, because you can never know if its going to last forever.

Yes, this is something aspies may have to watch out for - naive aspie guy thinks he's been married for love, but really she wants a kidney.

..... hm.... uh?.. hahahahahahahhahahahahahaha. that's quite funny now that i think about it. i don't think he'll get what he wants though...hm.

I saw on the TV news that he's a surgeon, and he knows how dangerous the surgery would be, so he'll accept 1.5 million dollars from her instead for the kidney.

Since it's illegal to sell a kidney for transplant here in the US I'm hoping his lawyer (who announced the price in a press conference) gets a heads-up from the authorities - I'm pretty sure the client can be arrested.

He's cranky cuz he claims she had an affair after he donated the kidney.

WTF!! !! !! !

i think the man should be paid his dues, he saved his wife's life, she filed for divorce... to me that doesn't break even.

if she can afford it she should pay, or at least give him something of equal value. if she give him nothing and he needs a liver transplant after they divorce she should have to donate some of his liver, anyone else believe that would make them even?

I recently read about a lady who sued her good friend. This friend had risked her own life to save this lady when she was pinned in an overturned car that could have exploded at any moment. Well, apparently, the good-hearted, quick-thinking rescuer lady may have accidentally done her friend some permanent physical damage, during her haste to save her life. So, the saved woman is suing her rescuer, who is also her close friend. That, IMO, is a person who deserves to be left to die. Mercy would still move me to save her even if I knew she'd sue me for any mistakes I make during the rescue, but she deserves to die in the wreck, plain and simple.

Talk about new levels of ingratitude! And the California court actually decided to let the lawsuit proceed, since her friend was not a trained and qualified rescuer!

I guess the next time her friend sees someone trapped in a life-and-death situation where seconds count, she'll just yell out: "Oh, hey, that sucks that you're in this predicament! I'd help, but, you see, I'm not a qualified rescuer. The California court system has taught me not to rescue people until I have the proper training, so, please don't mind that I'm about to let you die. Good luck! "

good point Ragtime

there was a case here in the UK where a child drowned because the officers weren't quallified to rescue her. there have been loads of times where people have been sued for saving someone from choking to death because they bruised/cracked a rib... these people are inconsiderate not only for taking advantage of their saviour but preventing others being saved due to possible consequences.

In the U.S. if you save someone's life, and it could be proven that the person would have died otherwise, you are shielded from any lawsuits. I suppose someone could file the paperwork, but all you'd have to do is prove they would have otherwise died and the lawsuit will fail.

I'm pretty sure US law does not work that way in regards to organ donation... there are no takebacks.

I feel bad now cuz I laughed X(
