Christian Wants Kidney Back from Hell-Bound Pagan

Sunday June 6, 2004
Most people who donate organs never get to know those who are the eventual recipients. Sometimes, though, they do meet - but what if the donor is disappointed with the lifestyle, politics, or religion of the recipient? What happens? In one case, a Christian donor wants her kidney back from the now-pagan recipient.

According to Lark News:

Smith, a self-described "on-fire Christian," gave her kidney to Hannah Felks, a Lutheran and regular Christian camp counselor, last year after seeing Felks on the local news."She was going to die unless she got a kidney," Smith says, sitting on the porch at her home. "They portrayed her as this nice Christian girl who works with kids. I saw it as a great opportunity to help a sister in the Lord."
But shortly after the surgery, Felks embarked on a "spiritual journey" to try out other religions, and settled on a blend of Pagan and Hindu beliefs. ... Smith was aghast when she heard of the conversion, and she quickly wrote a letter asking Felks to re-convert to Christianity or return the organ, saying it was donated under false pretenses. "I feel helpless," she says. "Part of my body, my DNA, is stuck inside a person who's going to hell."

Note: this is satire. It’s not real! But it’s really funny...
