Don't bother sending it. I later got it and concluded that it indeed was
another urban legend. I have seen that the urologists can remove a kidney
laparoscopically ( they actually wrap it in a little bag after cutting the
blood supply and ureter, then insert a thing that blenderizes the kidney),
so yes you can remove a kidney, obviously not fit for transplantation,
through a very small incision. Ron

Everything they say. Everything they do.
