Tim Cook liver - What would you do if you needed a liver transplant and someone offered it to you? Are you going to accept the offer or not? This question was answered by Steve Jobs in 2009 when Tim Cook once offered his liver to Jobs.
Tim Cook liver could have helped Apple's founder Steve Jobs live longer if he permitted him to give part of his liver. This has been revealed on the excerpts of the imminent biopic of Apple founder, "Becoming Steve Jobs."
"He cut me off at the legs, almost before the words were out of my mouth," Cook said. "'No,' [Jobs] said. 'I'll never let you do that. I'll never do that'."
The excerpt revealed in the biography film was revealed by Fast Company executive editor Rick Tetzeli and co-author Brent Schlender. When Steve Jobs rejected Tim Cook liver, Cook called it a selfless act. But definitely, it's not only Jobs who had a selfless act, but both of them.
It seems so obvious how close the two men of Apple were. Cook confessed that Jobs only yelled at him four to five times in 13 years that he knew him. When Steve Jobs refused Tim Cook liver, that time was one of those.
After Jobs became very ill in 2009, Tim Cook, liver offer is all he could do to save the life of Apple founder. Cook had undergone blood tests and fortunately their blood type matched. However, Jobs rejected Cook's decision to give a part of his liver.
During that time, Cook told Jobs that he is perfectly healthy and he'd been checked out. He then showed Jobs his medical records. He calmly told Jobs that he can do this and that he's not putting himself on risk while reassuring that he'll be fine.
According to The Guardian, Steve Jobs suffered a rare kind of pancreatic cancer. He got a liver donor in the same year that Tim Cook liver was offered. He took a leave the second time in January 2011 before he stepped down as Apple CEO in August of 2011.
Tim Cook passed away at the age of 56 in October 2011.
Tim Cook liver could have been the answer to extend Jobs life, but the Apple founder didn't think of himself. He is unselfish, Cook states.
