Men Give Kidney's To Each Other's Wives

LEBANON, N.H. -- Two men are donating kidneys to each other's wives in a four-way surgical swap Wednesday at a hospital in New Hampshire.

One of the women will receive a kidney from a stranger who has compatible blood and tissue types. Meanwhile, her husband has turned out to be a compatible donor for the other man's wife.

The couples do not know each other.

The surgery will be the second kidney transplant for one woman, who hopes it will allow her to live without regular dialysis.

The surgeon who'll perform the operation said organs from living donors always work better than those harvested from someone who has just died.

1. Does this give a new and refreshing twist to "wife swapping"??

I wouldn't give up a kidney to anyone, but that's because I'm anal retentive.

Matcom, where DO you get these news items? They are over the top!

4. Good one! I'm renal retentive AND anal retentive!

That means I keep my kidneys and my asshole to myself.

2. There are stories of coincidence and chance,

of intersections and strange things told, and which is which and nobody knows; and we generally say, "Well, if that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it."
