1. He turned down proven therapy and allowed his disease to progress while pursuing alternatives which had no chance of success. Shame onto those who offer false hope. May the tide of law someday turn against you with vigor.
2. In the context of the above, is it not possible that Mr. Jobs felt uneasy with the idea of putting Mr. Cook at risk (yes, liver surgery is a procedure with risk)?
