Oh man. :(

Ryan Arnold saved his brother Chad's life by donating part of his liver — but died doing it.

man that's pretty hardcore. even though he feels despair at times, i'm sure his brother wouldn't want him to feel that way. this story is touching. i miss my little brother so much.

I read that yesterday on CNN. Awful. The surviving brother must be just wracked with guilt. Not his fault, but I'm sure he feels that it is. Only thing he can do is just try and live his life.

For his brother's sacrifice will be for naught if he doesn't.

I tried to read the article but couldn't make it past the first paragraph. The whole thing is just inundated with purple prose from some pretentious would-be-poet.

I really lol'd at this... lol.

But yeah got to say, that is tragic. But I suppose if you were going to go out, saving someones life isn't a bad way to do it.

After hearing this story, I'm unlikely now to give my own brother a liver transplant if he needed one.

Come on guys... There was one accident out of thousands of transplants, if you can't save your brother's life over this you are heartless.
