Christopher and Heather Dempsey found they had a bond that went beyond the major medical procedure they shared.
Just under two years ago, Christopher Dempsey made the brave decision to donate half his liver to a stranger and save her life.
But little did he know their bond would go beyond a medical procedure.

Christopher, 38, told the BBC: "I just thought to myself, I would want someone to help me or my family in that situation."

Easy answer: no. And with luck and a good lawyer, maybe get to keep most of his other organs.

I dunno. She may make the case that he has to continue providing for her in the manner to which she has grown accustomed.
