Yeah, if my exwife gave me her liver I'd feed it to the cat and dog.

A divorced man donated part of his liver to his ex-wife earlier this year — at the suggestion of his new fiancee.
Well, it's not my threesome fantasy...
To: quark
Well, it could have been worse. At least his lawyer was somehow able to negotiate it down to just half of his liver.

this is a beautiful real-life story of love and friendship. I don't understand everyone's grief... of course I've never been divorced... married for 32 years (to the same person).

I find this to be amazingly noble. The man is a saint. The world is a better place because he is in it.

Wonderful story.
My best friend died a few days ago for lack of a donor. I will miss her terribly.
To: Protagoras
He did it to spare his son.
Her 32-year-old son offered to be the donor... But the young man's father... feared that their son was too weak from an accident the year before to undergo the surgery.

I read the article. The world is a better place because he is in it. He spared his son and saved his exwife because he had guts and love.
Skepticism and cynicism are different things.

Well, I see the usual crowd is here damning marriage. Never mind. My ex-wife and I get along very well. We were married for 14 years. If she needed a liver transplant, and mine was compatible, I'd donate part of it to her. And my current wife of 12 years would be right behind me.
Not every divorce is nasty, and not every ex-wife is out to get all she can.
Kudos to this guy for his generous offer. He saved a life. All you who are ragging on him and his ex are way out of line, in my opinion. I'm sorry your marriages ended badly, but that doesn't mean that this guy didn't do a good thing.

From the photo, it looks like the grandchildren are the biggest winners. Saving your children's mother and your grandchildren's grandmother is getting an awful lot back, isn't it?
