      Omg, again this is like the third time it was posted

      The boyfriend cannot give a full liver because he would die. Living donors can only donate a part of the liver. Unfortunately her liver was too far gone and she required a full cadaveric transplant.

      Basically the docs saved the boyfriend from losing 1/3 of his liver for nothing
