>!Don’t have much knowledge about the ELI5, but just wanted to chime in about alcohol abuse. My Wife recently underwent a full liver transplant due to alcoholic cirrohsis(2.5 weeks ago). Please if you know someone that abuses alcohol try to get them help. Liver failure is a terrible thing and I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. Also, the whole process opened my mind to organ donation. The young person that passed so my Wife could have a second chance has blessed my family more than anyone could ever know. SPREAD LOVE!<
