Yale Law Student Names the Kidney He Gave Away After a Federal Appeals Judge

ABA Journal | Debra Cassens Weiss

Yale Law School student Eric Parrie decided to name one of his kidneys before giving it away last summer to a woman he had never met.

Parrie called his kidney “Dick Posner” after the Chicago-based federal appeals judge and wrote a series of letters to the organ, ABC News reports. "You're headed for a new place, Dick Posner, and you're going to make that place better just by being there," Parrie wrote to his kidney.
