If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

imagine being his lawyer.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

I love how at the end they throw in "this is the first time this has come up in a New York State divorce case." Like it happens on a daily basis
everywhere else.

his lawyer is Domonic Barber who is friends with Howard Stern and calls in to the show all the time. they called him today and talked about this and
as insane as it sounds he made a decent argument for it. I dont think the guy will get anything, but it was a good argument!

Sad that I know this...
He probably won't get crap for the "monetary value" of the kidney. It's illegal to sell body organs in the US, so they have zero monetary value.
There are some insanely interesting ways that people get around it for kidney "donations" where two (or more) people who need a new kidney and have
incompatible donors will find each other and swap donors who are compatible. The transplants take place simultaneously so that the "later" donor
can't back out. Crazy, but true. I think they've done up to a quadruple transplant... maybe a quintuple.

When I needed a kidney transplant my stepfather talked about donating to someone he was a match for if one of their family members donated to me.
Nothing came of it. And it's still a donation any way you look at it. It's just one family helping out another. Nobody in my family was a match for
me so my stepfather wanted to see if another family was in the same situation and maybe we could help each other out.
As for asking for your kidney back in a divorce... what an idiot. Sounds like the dude is just bitter.

Theoretically he could potentially get rewarded the equivalent of any costs that he incurred for the procedure that his insurance company didn't pick
up. Which would likely be whatever his co-pay was.
