#12Anyone else think it should be titled 'potentially life-saving' instead? There was no guarantee it would have, though it did have more potential than the transplant he received later in the year.

No, not really. Life extension is life saving, after all.

For the record, Jobs did get a liver transplant later that same year. According to the article.
Also for the record Jobs was offered a life saving surgery when initially diagnosed and chose "...alternative treatments like dietary supplements and juices." I am astonished that somebody as worldly as Jobs chose to do that. http://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2011/10/24/steve-jo...
Religion is not required to have irrational fear.

#17Why do a proven medical procedure with a high success rate that makes logical sense (replace a busted liver with a healthy one) when you can use homeopathy, witchcraft, prayer, etc

The fruit diet was something he tried years and years ago because he believed that if he only ate fruit, he wouldn't have to bathe. So he ate nothing but fruit and never washed himself.
He was wrong. He stunk, and he eventually gave it up after everyone in his vicinity complained.

Because a good friend offered to cut out part of his own liver and give it to him, who would probably be dying soon, anyway? He took a transplant later. The article is about refusing Cook from cutting half his liver out. Jobs refused Cook, not the transplant.
also do not discount the idea that many refuse such of friends and acquaintances because they do not wish to feel indebted to them.
anonymous donors are fine. seeing the person who helped save your life each day may not, you may feel incorrectly they think they have a right to question you when they don't feel the same

It is incredibly difficult to take rational decisions when your life is at stake. You are then probably the least capable person of taking good decisions.
