I think there's more to this case than what meets the eye.
I have watched this case on Larry King Live as well. My first thought was - basically, the guy gotta have some goodness in his heart fro him to give away an important part of his body, an organ, to his wife - to the mother of his kids.
The impression I got from watching that episode, he is now ticked off because he feels his wife is alienating the children from him --- turning them against him.
Does he have the right to be upset about it if it's true - yes, he does.
Does his wife owe him anything for that kidney - apart from moral obligation, I don't think she is liable for any payment etc since kidney was donated out of love. Now, that love flew right out of the window could be both parthner's fault. Either way, she is not liable for paying for it now - morally or legally.
Was it right for his wife to cheat on him after he saved her life - well, can cheating ever be justified? Would it make her "less' wrong if he did not save her life or does it make her "more" wrong because, in a sense, she should feel obligated and she should feel like she owes her life to him?
If he feels she owes him something - whether an obligation or faithfulness just because he saved her life, then does it make his donation as unselfish as he is hell bent on proving?
Should he be making a public mockery out of a private issue - ideally speaking, no, he shouldn't but we don't live in an ideal world - do we?
Like I said, there's more to this case than what meets the eye. To me, its' a clear cut case of dirty laundry getting washed in public.
Interesting topic. I would love to read people's opinions here.......more later. Too sleepy right now to post anything else.
