There's a lot of smoke and mirrors in that paragraph, as well as a lot of speculation. I really do have doubts to your theory. And about the 'whole liver' thing... It's not like a supermarket and you decide what you pick... "Oh, I'll take that entire liver please". First of, I couldn't find any source stating that "he got an entire liver", and second, if the doctors gave him an entire liver, they had a reason to.
