George Lopez's Wife: You Gotta Be Kidneying Me

A NY doctor who's demanding the return of the kidney he donated to his adultery-committing ex-wife suddenly has a brand new enemy -- George Lopez's wife!

Ann Lopez, who once donated one of her kidneys to save George's life, has fired off a statement, crushing the Kidneyian Giver – aka Dr Richard Batista – for the "outrageous demand" he made in the New York media. Batista – who found out about his wife's affair after he donated the organ -- demanded his wife return the kidney or fork over $1.5 million ASAP.

In the statement, Lopez says, "Being an organ donor is selflessly giving another person the gift of life. Organ donation is an act of compassion, humanity, and love. To ask for monetary compensation for this gift is not only illegal but sends a highly destructive and irreparable message about living organ donation to the public.

Dr. Batista is also violating the moral standards that every physician vows to uphold as part of the Hippocratic oath. As an advocate for living organ donation, I condemn this outrageous demand that Dr. Batista has set forth. As a husband, father and physician he should consider the heath and welfare of Mrs. Batista, the mother of his three children above anything else. Asking her to return the kidney is an impossibility and asking for a monetary sum is immoral, cowardly, and culpable."

4. OK that guy is insane. but There might be a way to get some money out of this. If the wife was having the affair at the time of the kidney donation. He could sue for pain and suffering. He wouldnt have done it if he had known. I dont know NY law though.

5. Give him some monopoly money or a I-O-U or a plastic kidney. That should do the trick. Fair exchange aint no robbery. This guy is silly and deeeeeepressed. lol.........Heart sick he is . There is no court on the face of the earth going to require she return (he he he ) her kidney. Sorry folks i couldnt type that with out a chuckle....And by the way its hers now (kidney)

6. As I recall I believe federal law is pretty clear re profiting as far as organs go. He even thinks of filing suit they may grab him by the short hairs and have him in a cell. As far as the cheating spouse she will get hers when said organ fails or at judgement day.

10. That cheating bitch needs to 1. return the kidney or 2. pay up. This man thought he was doing the right thing and was willing to help save his "wife's" life by donating one of his kidneys. Do you think if she would have been up front and told him, "Oh yeah, and I'm also f*cking someone else" he would have given her a kidney? Hell no. If she doesn't pay or give back the kidney, she's going to (hopefully) die from kidney failure. Instant karma is beautiful.

12. Why don't you maroons learn how to write. You repeated, "his wife" and things of this nature; who the **** are you talking about?? Whose wife? Lopez's wife or the other guy? I read it twice and still think you're illiterate!

13. Anger is a very dangerous thing to feel and that is what the doctor is showing. That is a deadly sin. What he is demanding is evil. I thought doctors are to be there to cure you from illness. The kidney saved her life. We do not know why she went to someone else. but it happened. The doctor is a scorn man. And he want sactisfaction for it. He need to see a therapist for his grudge problem. There are husbands and wives that have maybe been through worst then this. We do not know the whole story only bits and pieces.

15. He did the right thing...and karma will repay him. She did a nasty thing...and karma will repay her :-) 2012 is close at hand...she'd better start growing as she's supposed to be. There is no monetary value on a lesson well learned (by him)...
