Chinese Teenager Sells Kidney For iPhone

That is a bit too far, but I assume they had the operation for the money and just bought the iPhone off the proceeds. If they literally traded an iPhone for a kidney, then you should be concerned, but I have a feeling Apple only trade through money, not body organs :P

They were paid £2,077 I believe.

Then they bought an iphone, ipad and laptop.

I'm not sure why people are so shocked by this, I would totally sell my kidney for the things he got.

You could go to China, sell your kidney.

Come back to England, if you get ill go on the waiting list for a new kidney FREE.

Then go back to China and sell it ;L

They probably wouldn't care - you need a kidney, you pay for it x :P

Now this guys got the right idea, its not like you even need the 2ed kidney. Although I wouldn't get tech which goes out of date so fast, maybe a car instead...

I like how many people say 'LOL GOD GAVE US 2 KIDKNEEZ DNT NED BOTH' when in reality living with one kidney is possible but UTIs (Urinary tract infections) can be commonplace and you have to be far more stringent with regards to diet and lifestyle when you only have one kidney. Your quality of life in the long term would/could be diminished, possibly severely - just for a short burst of dopamine fueled immediate gratification. Furthermore, if you have problems with your current kidney, good luck fighting with the droves of other people in need of a kidney transplant. Not only this, but with the privatisation of the NHS looming ahead, selling a kidney could end up costing you more than it earns you in the long run if you run into any complication at all.

Gutted if he ever gets problems with his other kidney.

Least he can use facetime whilst in hospital on dialysis.
