Also, the word you’re looking for is “allowed.”

It is against some religions to remove the organs.

So hormone imbalance is officially deprecated now?

@CJ… uh… The doctor’s not gonna tell you, “we need your organs, STAT, and just take em. It’s like if you’re in a car wreck or something and die they can look on your drivers licsense and see that and have full permission to use your organs

CJ- You’re right. A doctor’s advice to his son-”Don’t you ever sign that card.” I guess he’d seen too many organ donors “not saved” in his career. Your family can always express your wishes for you once you are gone and doctors have legitimately done everything they can to save you.

Hungwell: "Now I’m confused. I thought he got an iLiver."

Correction, he BOUGHT a new liver.

I'm all for organ donation but I don't sign my organ donor card on the back of my driver's license. Reason being, I don't want some doctor deciding I've had a full and wonderful life at 45 as he takes my liver to save a 5 year old.

"Non-iPhone friendly video after the break!"

Steve, this news is not spreading enough because of this.

Can gay people donate organs? I know we can’t donate blood, I figured organs would be the same, so I checked not to be a donor on my license.

It’s great to see people of Steve Jobs’ status campaining for such an important cause. My son has had 3 liver transplants (before he was 3 years old), one from me. The last one is working brilliantly, he’s 8 next week and living a normal kids life. Without the selfless gift from the other 2 families he wouldn’t be with us today. I live in the UK, hopefully success over there will open peoples eyes to the desparate need for organ donation.

Kudos for sure. More high profile people should try to do work like that.

Organ donation is a blessing for many families, including mine. Good on you, Mr. Jobs, for using your fame to help spread the word.
