• I think judicial temperament is a willingness to step back from your own committed views of the correct jurisprudential approach and evaluate those views in terms of your role as a judge. It's the difference between being a judge and being a law professor.

• El calentamiento global puede ser una 'crisis', incluso 'el problema medioambiental más acuciante de nuestro tiempo'... De hecho, en última instancia puede afectar a casi todos los habitantes del planeta de alguna manera potencialmente adversa, y puede que los gobiernos hayan hecho demasiado poco para abordarlo. Sin embargo, no es un problema que haya escapado a la atención de los responsables políticos de los poderes ejecutivo y legislativo de nuestro Gobierno, que siguen estudiando medios normativos, legislativos y basados en tratados para abordar el cambio climático global.

• We cannot deny that our decision today will have an impact on the ability of law enforcement to combat crime. Cell phones have become important tools in facilitating coordination and communication among members of criminal enterprises, and can provide valuable incriminating information about dangerous criminals. Privacy comes at a cost.

• I'm not sure that it's right to view this as excluding a particular group. When the institution of marriage developed historically, people didn't get around and say, 'Let's have this institution, but let's keep out homosexuals.' The institution developed to serve purposes that, by their nature, didn't include homosexual couples.

• If we had enough cadaver organs to go around we wouldn't do living donor liver transplants because one is we don't want to put a donor at risk, but the second is that it's a more difficult surgery for the recipient because you're getting a piece of a liver rather than a whole liver. It takes you longer to recover, and it has more complications related to where we sew together the blood vessels and the bile ducts.

• Las causas de las cicatrices son muy diversas. Los virus son comunes. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, lo que llamamos enfermedades autoinmunes donde el cuerpo ataca al propio hígado como la cirrosis biliar primaria es una enfermedad autoinmune; la colangitis esclerosante es una enfermedad autoinmune; y así esas enfermedades donde el hígado está siendo destruido ya sea por el virus o una enfermedad autoinmune, sólo puede cicatrizar, y por qué no se regenera tiene que ver con el hecho de que existe este tejido cicatricial en curso que bloquea esa regeneración.

• There is a risk of death associated with donating a piece of liver. It's about one in 500 for the risk of death. The risk of death of donating a kidney is about one in 3000, so this is a riskier operation than donating a kidney. The stakes are usually higher for the recipient of the transplant because unlike kidney failure, where you have a dialysis machine, in liver failure we don't have that kind of machine that allows a patient to survive until they can get a cadaver organ.

• Todo el mundo sabe que no hay órganos suficientes para todos los pacientes que necesitan un trasplante, y lo que ocurre es que los órganos se destinan a los pacientes más enfermos. Así que los pacientes que tienen más probabilidades de morir en los próximos tres meses son los que tienen prioridad para el trasplante de hígado.

• Cuando un hígado se vuelve cirrótico, esas son las complicaciones habituales. Vemos que los pacientes tienen hemorragias estomacales e intestinales. Tienen el abdomen lleno de líquido. Sus tobillos se hinchan con el mismo tipo de líquido, y también pueden confundirse y no ser ellos mismos. Ésas son las principales complicaciones que vemos cuando una persona tiene una enfermedad hepática terminal y cirrosis.

• We are always in awe of what the donors have done in terms of providing of themselves to the recipients. It really is a heroic act because people take on themselves not only a risk of death but also pain-and-suffering in order for their loved one to get the benefit of the liver transplant.

• When we think about living donor transplant, what we're banking on is the ability of the liver to regenerate itself. Now, it's not the same sort of regeneration we think about with the starfish where we cut off the arm and it grows a new arm. With the liver, what happens is the remaining liver gets bigger, and your body knows the size of the liver that it needs, and when it recognizes that there is not enough liver, it sends nutrients and signals to the liver and says "get bigger."
