17 Year Old Chinese Kid Sells Kidney To Buy Ipad 2 by Meldrick(m): 4:28pm On Jun 03, 2011 |
Apple lovers are known for their somewhat radical devotion to any new products the company introduces, but selling body parts to afford them is definitely something new — and scary. According to Global Times, a youngster in China's Anhui province wanted a new iPad 2 tablet so badly he was willing to part with a kidney to be able to afford it. The student, a 17-year-old high school student named Zheng, told a local newspaper "I wanted to buy an iPad 2 but could not afford it. A broker contacted me on the Internet and said he could help me sell one kidney for 20,000 yuan." The "broker" was true to his word, and after the operation was completed on April 28, Zheng received his 20,000 yuan, which equates to a little over $3,000. The young organ donor carried out these plans without the knowledge of his mother, who was surprised to see her son awash in new, expensive electronics. After discovering what Zheng had done, she promptly alerted authorities, who have been attempting to track down the buyers ever since.

Oh my goodness, the boy lacks wisdom, parting away with his kidney at his young age because of a piece of fleeting technology! But again is it not a tendency we all have, trading valueables for instant and short-lived gains. Girls who part their legs for a phone or a pack of brazilian hair comes to mind, Lets reflect and grow. |
