Hyuck: Man Seeks Donated Kidney Back From Wife in Divorce Proceeding

I'm no stranger to bitterness and pettiness in such wrenching matters, so... I understand.

Of course, this is a jackass claim. Here's the stupid analysis: When an organ is donated it becomes the property of the donee. And then it immediately stops being "property" at all, as it becomes part of her body. And just as a man can't attempt to get one of his wife's breasts as part of "equally dividing the joint property," or a woman can't claim a testicle, he can't sue for a kidney.

There are better ways to say "I'm really, really angry at you" than being a petty jackass, although, I have to confess, I haven't actually found such ways myself yet. I'm assured they exist, though. Every ex-girlfriend insists this to be the case, and why would they lie to me?
