True Story: Man Wanted His Donated Kidney Back During Divorce

Loading

Back in 2001, New York doctor Richard Batista donated one of his kidneys to save his wife’s life.
But when their marriage fell apart a few years later, he shocked everyone by demanding the kidney back—or $1.5 million—in the divorce settlement.

⚖️ The court quickly ruled that organs can’t be reclaimed or treated like property, and his request was denied.
A reminder: a life-saving gift is just that—a gift you can’t take back.
