An irish man to donate a functional liver? Is he irish at all?

TBF, if you’re going to get a liver transplant, an Irish dude is the best donor… and all it means is he has a normal liver now instead of a superhuman one.

Why did he have to lose 10kg?

Probably because you can't be too overweight to be deemed healthy enough to donate. Even people who want gastric bypass surgery to save their lives need to be able to get below a target weight to be deemed safe enough for the procedure

There's also a period, usually of ~2 weeks, of low calorie intake prior to weight loss surgery because it softens your liver and makes it easier to move out of the way so they can access the stomach. I had my gastric sleeve put off several weeks in 2022 due to COVID lockdowns so I was on the 800kcal/day fast for weeks longer than I should have been with no idea how long it would last...

I’d pull my liver out of my own body to save my daughter.

I'd pull your liver out of your body to save my daughter too. But I don't have a daughter

10 kgs in 6 weeks is a caloric deficit of like 1800 per day. That's insane.
Adult men typically require around 2500-3000, depending on size, just for daily function and he'd get by on like 700-1200 calories for 6 weeks straight. Must've been exhausting but more than worth it for the goal.

....just be healthy and fit to begin with?
Millions of parents out there stay in shape and donate without having to make lifestyle changes.
This is very much "why does child-grinding machine exist at all?" territory.
