The 1.5 Million Dollar Man?

| | Comments (1) |


Dr. Richard Batista is a man who deserves the "Gift of Life" Award. In 2001, the New York surgeon donated his kidney to his ailing wife, Dawnell. Perhaps the surgery had an undocumented affect on her because she began cheating on him a few years later.

Now that they are getting divorced, Dr. Batista would either like his kidney back or 1.5 million dollars in compensation.

What do you think, dear readers? Should it be considered joint property to be amicably split or just a once in a lifetime gift?

Dr. Batista should go for the 1.5 million dollars. What would he do with a second-hand-over-used kidney?
I guess that Mrs. Batista while she was having problems with her kidney, led a moderate life.
When she was installed with a new set of kidneys-- courtesy of her benevolent husband--she decided to make up for lost time. Go for the money, boy! Go for the money!
