I have to agree with him. Just leave him alone. His health is personal. It’s really nobody else’s business.

You are right, Charles. I forgot that Jobs may have received his liver from a living donor. I assumed that it was a cadaver donor. So far as I know, the living donor option is still available, although not without risk for the donor as well as the recipient. There was a tragic case of a man being a living donor for his brother; the donor ended up dying from the procedure while the recipient lived.

While rare, other living donors have had some loss of limb function and other lifelong ‘complications’ from the dissection of their liver.

As for “Everything deserves to be laughed at,” while true, it is also axiomatic that one can make a joke about anything, but someone, somewhere, will be offended.

Everything deserves to be laughed at. Especially terrible things. It makes them less terrible. Hope the best for Steve.

“Second, never forget that someone else died so that Steve Jobs could continue to live, hopefully a healthy, productive and long life.”

This is sad news indeed! When was the living donor program ended? And it has been doing so well since livers grow back to replace the donated lobes. Most unfortunate.
