Yes: This is a natural sweetener and you should be fine; get it from somebody reputable. If it has other health benefits, the mainstream medical community looks forward to seeing evidence.

Yes: I do not believe that there are any documented cases of stevia toxicity to the liver.

Unknown: Because stevia is eliminated via liver deconjugation, to the extent that this pathway is compromised by cirrhosis would argue against stevia's safety. Caution is advised and discussion with a gastroenterologist is appropriate.
