I think there were valid points all around, but I doubt that a family court would change custody arrangements because of this. Perhaps the donating parent might be granted more custody, but I doubt that “primary” custody would be changed.
I voted for “more info”. That’s because I couldn’t vote for the second option. I think the custody suit has no merit. But I don’t agree that Pat’s argument was “rational and wise”. I found it somewhat manipulative and self-serving.
In addition, since the immunological problems involved are significant for the donee even in the best cases, it’s unwise to go with a poorer match. Yes, if I were Pat (I’m male), I’d donate part of my liver.
It sounded like you were saying the kid should have some say in which parent donates.
Kids should have a say in which parent they stay with, but that can sometimes be putting too much of a burden on the kid.
Skald, I missed where you said alternate holidays.
I’ve enjoyed playing along, but this is getting too much into ridiculous hypothetical territory even for me.
