After back and forth rumors about the health of Apple's revered Steve Jobs way back in last year and the beginning of 2009, it turned out that he really did have some health problems: complications with his liver requiring a transplant. It was supposed that he'd return to Apple by the end of June, and now he's finally made his first public appearance since he first took his medical leave of absence earlier this year.

I never claimed to know your background. I don't know where you got that idea from. You are definitely NOT more qualified to give an opinion because you have no specific knowledge of this case.
What if that guy destroyed his liver through drug abuse or alcoholism? Would you still feel the same way? What if that guy got a liver the next day? What if no one died because of Jobs transplant but he would have died without it? How is that ethical? You don't know anything about the situation but still feel you have the right to condemn someone's decision to save their own life. It's sickening.
You obviously haven't thought this through at all. Using your logic I shouldn't use employer provided insurance because some people don't have it. I dislike the current system as much as anyone does but to give up on yourself just because it isn't fair to everyone isn't noble it's just stupid.
