A member asked:
Will i be able to live with 3/4 or 1/2 of my liver after donating some of it?

Yes you will.: The liver possesses amazing regenerative properties. Within two months of the surgery, the remaining portion of your liver grows back to full size. This truly is a gift of life for somebody who needs it. Congratulations for even considering it.

Yes : When you donate a portion of your liver, you will not only live, you will also help some else live, and you will likely re-generate the donated portion.
