Yes, there is a time limit, so the patient has to be already prepped and ready to receive the "new" organ and that "new" organ had to be near enough so that it could arrive in time. Note: I did say "most."

Something like that - Not quite sure, though.

I heard that too. Steve also has a residence here too.

Agree
Like I said and now back to the list - Who else was on it? was Steve the top of the list? Was Steve the only one who match that organ? ? <-- KEY WORD = (Match) the organ.
We just don't know - what we do know Steve was able to jump on the plane and make it there in time.
Jobs is changing the world granted for that I am glad. Thankfully he had found a match to get a liver transplant to save his life.Does he ever donate to any charitable organization?I hope he donates to the Liver Foundation as other people need livers as much as Jobs did.
Jobs has been criticized for his lack of public philanthropy despite his wealth, particularly in recent years as other billionaires have pledged significant portions of their fortunes to charity.[56] As of 2006, Jobs had not appeared on national tallies of charitable donations totaling $1 million or more, as compiled by Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy.[57] Although he may well have donated significant sums anonymously, some have doubted this assumption, given Jobs' equally poor track record on corporate philanthropy;[58] after resuming control of Apple in 1997, Jobs eliminated all corporate philanthropy programs as a temporary cost-cutting measure until profitability improved.[59] Despite the company's record-breaking profits and $40 billion cash on hand,[60] Jobs has not reinstated a philanthropic division at Apple.
I know you guys are not to fond of Microsoft.Truthfully Bill Gates does contribute a huge amount of his wealth from his foundation to the poorer countries around the world.I know this is a tax write off but he and his wife Melinda are quite the charitable people among the billionaires today. Jobs as you mentioned is never listed hardly.
