Steve Jobs helped pass a California law that requires the DMV to ask you to be an organ donor!

Steve Jobs was perhaps, the greatest technological mind of our day and age. He paved the way for innovation, and drove Apple products to be at the top of the market. But, as we know, Steve became severely ill in 2009 and needed a liver transplant. However, he felt guilty about receiving the transplant because he was so wealthy.

This experience drove Steve Jobs to confront Maria Shiver, California's first lady at the time. He told Maria that she needed to talk to Arnold, and tell him that he needed to really encourage organ donations. Maria told her husband, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he, Steve Jobs, and state senator Elaine Alquist came up with the bill.

The bill essentially said that Californian DMV's had to ask people getting a license if they wanted to be an organ donor - and then help them through the process so that they can become one!
