The interesting part about liver donation is that, when it's done using a living donor, it's literally harder on the donor than on the recipient. I found that out when I was going to give part of my liver to my brother, and the doctor really discouraged me (thank heavens we weren't a match, so I didn't have to make a final decision!).

I think he should be allowed to donate. I don't know the case in its entirity, but it may be the one good thing he does with his life.
