In Steve Jobs' final years, his successor Tim Cook offered him a partial liver transplant, but Jobs refused. Jobs suffered from ascites, a side effect of cancer, which caused so much pain he could barely get out of bed, Fast Company reports.

The detail is revealed in the upcoming Becoming Steve Jobs, written by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli. According to the book, Cook underwent tests and found he could provide Jobs with a partial liver transplant, which Jobs refused to accept.

"Steve only yelled at me four or five times during the 13 years I knew him, and this was one of them," Cook apparently said. After he offered the suggestion to Jobs, since they both had the same rare blood type, Jobs told Cook, "I'll never let you do that. I'll never do that."

Jobs told Cook, "I'll never let you do that. I'll never do that. I'll never let you give me the AIDS."

Steve died because he was a retarded hippy who turned down cancer medicine, which works, in favour of hippy black magic, which does not.

correct

and if anyone thinks to ask "hey did steve just give him the house as an unexpected thank you gift?" no, the doctor knew about because steve had invited him there before and he asked about buying it

the only reason 99% of us aren't giant douches is that we arent billionaires that can do childish poo poo like lease a new mercedes every 60 days so you dont ever have to go down to get permanent plates

if we had his money we would do the exact same poo poo

Jonny 290: May 5, 2005; [ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

i mean theres also the chance that maybe steve was loving tired of this stupid idiot world and his success with resurrecting apple proved to him that people are dumb sheep that just eat branding and poo poo money and maybe he got depressed over that and decided to check out

the yacht was a misstep we can all agree on this

the yacht is great, it was controlled by an ipod touch and they never paid the builders because they're like "welp, stebe died, we'll take the boat but not pay you."
