In 2001, Dr. Richard Batista, a Long Island surgeon, donated one of his kidneys to his wife, Dawnell Batista, to help save her life. Four years later, when she filed for divorce, the case took an extraordinary turn.

During the divorce proceedings in 2009, Dr. Batista countersued and asked for either the return of the kidney or $1.5 million in financial compensation.

The request was rejected by the Nassau County Supreme Court. Under U.S. law, including the National Organ Transplant Act, human organs cannot legally be bought, sold or treated as financial assets or marital property.

The court treated the kidney donation as a voluntary and unconditional gift. Once the kidney was transplanted, it became part of the recipient’s body, and the donor no longer had ownership rights over it.

Medical experts and bioethicists also raised serious ethical concerns about the idea of removing a functioning transplanted kidney without medical need. Such a procedure could put the recipient’s health at risk and goes against the medical principle of “do no harm.”

The unusual kidney donation divorce case became widely known because it brought together questions about love, marriage, organ donation, medical ethics and the law.

It remains a striking example of how an organ donation is treated as a permanent gift rather than something that can later be reclaimed.

I thought it was a satire at first but apparently not

We still don't have any schedule, there is no information about any future updates and events. No information about updates of the Main Story, not even approximately. NOTHING.

If you rely on people spending money on your game then the proper public schedule is your best friend, people will save money for expected events. It's basics! It's only for your own financial benefits!

Correct me if I'm wrong but there also was no statement regarding Rafael's Myth not being released, just silence. "Hey, we won't bring it up so please just forget we even said anything about it!"

I also wanna mention this thing. Players love their boys, love interactions with them, how unique they are. And in the House (that clearly "ate" A LOT of resources to be launched) all guys are just the same default character with different skins. Their animations are the same: dancing or stretching for example. There is no attention to details: Zayne writes a note about craving carrots, Sylus wears an apron.

And look, I'm happy we got new outfit, new pose, new Caleb card. I especially love mini-game even if it's there for a limited time. (TBH I'm just happy to get something beyond anecdotes and Tender Moments (that you can't put on the background because MC is not voiced). If I want to read I open books or AO3 and get reading of much better quality. I'm here to PLAY A GAME)

But knowing that it's released during this mess and Rafael's Myth was not? It leaves a bitter taste, like they don't care much and use it just to release "at least something, whatever, nevermind if it won't get enough traction"

INFOLD looks at people complaining and still behaviours the same way as this old meme

This post is brought to you by my relistening to the 3rd season and Arthur with his "Fuck you, Yellow, for not being John. I need John. Shut up. You'll never be John. John is real and caring and kind and thoughtful. John please come back, John I miss you so much", I love you, I need you.

All that just to BARELY TAKE 5 MINUTES AFTER JOHN'S RETURN to come back to good old 'You are selfish hypocritical prick!' 'Oh? Fuck you! You are the worst!".

God, I love them both so much, #boylife, pls never change.

(And yet my today's wish for you to experience much less such drama and annoyance in real life, only in fiction— no matter what kind of relationship it is about)
