Exactly. This is exactly what Steve Jobs did. Exactly what you advised. So don't be all angry at him for it.

Doctors are the number one killers in America. Not car accidents, plane crashes or cancer. Doctors. Healthcare has become so expensive that those who REALLY do need to have treatments cannot afford it unless if doctors and hospitals can screw your health insurance over real good.

Put the blame for healthcare cost where it really belongs. Greedy doctors and big pharmaceutical companies. The medical industry is not in the business of “saving lives”. They are in the business of generating death. Death makes them money. Not life. Not natural items, herbs and plants.

In essence, doctors who take the “hippocratic oath” of “do no harm” are just hypocrites. Knowledge is power. You have to be your own doctor, medical advocate and do your own research. Because if you don’t, the choice will be made for you. And the choice won’t be in your “best interest”.

I also believe that we as a nation should have Universal Health Care so that anyone in that condition could afford such a surgery, too!

Take care Steve!

But since it was disconnected from the original comment and not a reply (with which I would have probably seen the sarcasm better), I read it as just another knock on Steve Jobs. I've actually seen people use that argument for other famous people with illnesses (as in, the "die with dignity, don't string it out" thing), which is pretty disgusting.

I'm glad I know there's not two people in a row that would let anti-Applism/anti-famous-people-using-their-money-to-get-healthyism ride to the forefront above wishing a human being well, though.

I don't like it when people use the sick children card as much as the next serious person it's a shameful way to try to back up a terrible point.

Chances are that Danny wouldn't donate to starving kids over a liver transplant and that given the chance, Riley would choose a transplant to pointlessly dying just to be 'dignified' – it's entirely possible to help the planet and be dignified and still have a liver transplant.

Jobs proved this – he WAS dignifed in his illness and is obviously doing all he can (cite: the latest Apple product refreshes) to make Apple a more environmental company (and thus help the planet).
