Yes, it is possible for living humans to donate a portion of their liver. The liver has the ability to regenerate, so the portion removed from the donor should grow back in both the donor and the recipient. This type of donation is often done for liver transplants to save the life of someone with liver failure.

Can you live without a portion of your heart and could you donate part of it to someone else?

As far as I'm aware it is not yet possible to donate part of your heart to someone else as a living donor. A person needs a complete and fully-functioning heart to be healthy, and hearts do not have the capacity to regenerate themselves - both of these reasons would mean that attempting to donate part of one's heart would be incredibly risky to the health of the donor.
