he had a liver transplant.

Good
...but far from great.


The anti-rejection (Immunosuppressive) drugs necessary
for a successful transplant leaves the patient susceptible
to the entire range of potential baddies lurking out there.

From one of the posters..



Not *just* a new liver– 2x faster, with camera and video support. And if you do drink too much, just initiate a remote wipe and restore to factory settings….

thanx
I needed that

It's amazing how negative the spin can turn....

Good stuff. The only problem is that Steve always likes to slowly upgrade over time. Is he going to be sitting there with the 3G S iLiver 3.0 a year from now and want to make an upgrade? I foresee Steve all set with the hardware upgrades until he is 85 and he will only require remote software installs before then.

The one last thing I want him to do once he is back in the saddle and pink cheeked: He should make a nice Apple commercial about how cool it is to have a new liver and encourage every single one of us to have that donor transplant acceptance on our license. The wait for these organs would be much shorter if we didn't bury perfectly good organs.

An excellent idea!!

I agree with poly on this one. It should be criminal to bury or incinerate viable organs.

Only problem is it's an individual right to contribute or not.

I agree it's a shame, but maybe one could entice more donors if we eliminated some of their medical debts in exchange for registering.

The absolute second the individual flatlines, right to your meat should evaporate. Let the family keep the shell, if they need it for some voodoo viewing, but a scoop team should take the viable stuff right away. The gov't has no problem taking my earnings, when I still need them, to benefit others, so why is there a problem if they need my liver (maybe that's a bad choice) to benefit others, especially after I'm done with it?
