There is a risk of death associated with donating a piece of liver. it's about one in 500 for the risk of death. the risk of death of donating a kidney is about one in 3000, so this is a riskier operation than donating a kidney. the stakes are usually higher for the recipient of the transplant because unlike kidney failure, where you have a dialysis machine, in liver failure we don't have that kind of machine that allows a patient to survive until they can get a cadaver organ.

More From John Roberts

When we think about living donor transplant, what we're banking on is the ability of the liver to regenerate itself. now, it's not the same sort of regeneration we think about with the starfish where we cut off the arm and it grows a new arm. with the liver, what happens is the remaining liver gets bigger, and your body knows the size of the liver that it needs, and when it recognizes that there is not enough liver, it sends nutrients and signals to the liver and says "get bigger."

If we had enough cadaver organs to go around we wouldn't do living donor liver transplants because one is we don't want to put a donor at risk, but the second is that it's a more difficult surgery for the recipient because you're getting a piece of a liver rather than a whole liver. it takes you longer to recover, and it has more complications related to where we sew together the blood vessels and the bile ducts.

If you have a patient in a doctor's office who's just been told they have terminal cancer but there's this operation they could perform right now that might save their lives. ... they have a 90 percent chance of surviving the operation — if you tell them that, they respond one way. if you tell them ... that they have a 10 percent chance of being killed by the operation, they are about three times less likely to have the operation.

End-stage liver disease refers to a liver that's failing, and a very high percentage of those livers are what we call cirrhotic, or the patient's liver has become cirrhotic, and what cirrhosis is, is the scarring of the liver tissue.

We had a big controversy in the united states when there was a limited number of dialysis machines. in seattle, they appointed what they called a 'god committee' to choose who should get it, and that committee was eventually abandoned. society ended up paying the whole bill for dialysis instead of having people make those decisions.

God wants a love partner, centering on the place where husband and wife become one through their sexual organs, god wants to appear and meet us...i wish you would center on the absolute sexual organ, unique sexual organ, unchanging sexual organ and eternal sexual organ and use this as your foundation to pursue god...we have to realize that the kingdom of god on earth and in heaven will begin on this foundation.
