This article is about how Apple CEO offered his liver to Steve Jobs. Apple chief executive Tim Cook offered to give Steve Jobs part of his liver while the company's co-founder lay dying in bed waiting for a transplant, according to a new book.

• According to the book, which charts Jobs' life from young entrepreneur to founding and running the largest company in the world, Cook went to see Jobs at his home in 2009, something he would do every day.
• Jobs had been ill since late-2003 and had now reportedly developed ascites - an accumulation of fluid in the abdomen. He looked frail and tired, and would lay in bed all day while waiting for a liver transplant.
• Cook returned to Jobs' house the next day and showed the Apple founder his medical records. He added that he was a blood match and there was no risk involved in the operation. As the liver can regenerate and grow, Cook only needed to give Jobs a small part of his own organ.
