I looked on the lawofone site and they in turn linked to that fucking fountain of snake oil, Uri Geller. How anyone can take any of this seriously is beyond me. Transferring livers and other organs between bodies without anesthetic, antibiotics, antirejection meds? Come on, there's nothing here to "debunk" at all. I tried to link to Knowingthebible but it's a flagged attack site. Here's a quote from Lawofone:

On the day of the operation, Pachita lifted the kidney out of the jar
with her bloody hands. She then sliced it in two longitudinally, stating
that she was going to transplant each half separately. Next she plunged
the knife deeply into one side of the back, twisted the knife around,
and asked me to drop one kidney half into the hole. I was utterly
surprised to find that the kidney in my hand was literally “sucked” into
the body of the patient. When I palpated the spot where the kidney had
been “sucked” in, I found that the tissue had closed immediately, there
was no hole in the skin. It was awesome! In this manner both halves of
the kidney were transplanted. The entire operation lasted 92 seconds.
One hour afterwards the patient was able to stand. She slept well, and
was urinating normally some 14 hours later. After three days she boarded
a plane and flew home to the United States."

Half a kidney was "sucked into" a hole cut in some person's back which then miraculously disappeared, the entire operation took only 92 seconds and the person recovered completely in three days? Really? Damn, guess that shows all those silly ass doctors at Johns Hopkins, eh?

Anyone else getting a faint whiff of old socks?
