Chinese Teenager Sells Kidney For iPhone

That is taking it too far D:.

He sees an iPad more important than his kidney? How absurd.

He also got a laptop.

Apparently organ trafficking in China is fairly common due to the lack of organ donors.

What has the world come to, that's just taking it a bit too far.. :S

"The boy's mother alerted police after she found out but they were unable to locate the broker as his phone was switched off.
The hospital was not authorised to perform organ transplants, and claimed they had no idea about the surgery because the department had been contracted to a businessman from a neighbouring province, reports said."


what lol how could he have got his kidney removed so easily O.o

It was a long travel apparently - so it wouldn't have been the local hospital.

His choice, although on his head be it.

As it went ahead and he wanted to do it - it was his choice. The same applies to anyone who murders or steals and so forth, it may be illegal but they made that choice and should suffer the consquences. In this case however with selling organs, I don't think he should be taken to court/trialed for something that doesn't hurt anybody else but himself.

He sold his kidney in order to obtain an iPhone, his choice completely.
