A Florida resident is suing his own brother over him not donating bone marrow after it was allegedly planned to do so. David Dreier, 48, who has leukemia, was expecting a bone marrow donation from his brother, who he had given $37,500 in exchange. Dreier told the courts that his brother is now not willing to give up the bone marrow and also the money. Michael Drier, the brother, is saying that he is not medically capable of giving up the bone marrow and that the money was a loan that had no ties with the exchange of the bone marrow.
According to the law, it is illegal to buy or purchase bone marrow so the deal was never legal and couldn’t have been taken to court officially. If the deal was in regards only to the $37,500 loan not being paid back, David could have taken Michael to court if they had written documentation of the loan, along with their signatures.
