Always worth remembering that as well as being an innovator, Steve Jobs was often a cruel and petty man.
From the 2017, uh, molecular neuroimmunosociobiology survey paper Aggression, Social Stress, and the Immune System in Humans and Animal Models by Takahashi, Flanigan, McEwen & Russo – https://doi.org/10.3389/fnbeh.2018.00056

I don't know that I can blame him though. Having been involved in friends and family members with medical problems, there are SO many people that muddle through understanding, and then deciding what to do. Conflicting advice will come from all directions.
It seems only doctors, usually with a lifetime of experience, have medical directives ready and they are usually DNR type decisions.
It doesn’t make sense to me why someone would see the numbers in a case like this and decide not to act.
If you're still an alcoholic, you're not getting a new liver. There is required sobriety and testing first. You may have had issues that caused you to get there, but you will be sober before you get the liver.
Not the same thing. Jobs example (and I don't inherently agree with the GP, just saying) would be more like being able to drink up to the point of your transplant and then keep on going like you've just had a pit stop.

Jobs allegedly spent years lying about whether his daughter was his daughter. That's not necessary for Apple to succeed. That's just being a dick.
The bar is pretty low among that population, though.
The only thing he was good at as lying to create a brand image.
