Chinese Youth Sells Kidney to Afford iPad 2

[Harley man]

At least he got an iPad out of it... When I woke up in that hotel room's bath tub full of ice the other day, I had nothing to show for it but a scar.

Wtf that's to funny lol

wow, how sad. Hard to believe the hospital would even do it.

Maybe not a hospital. Perhaps a clinic. Regardless the operators have no ethical concerns as they are engaged in organ harvesting. Sad but happens all the time in China. People selling body parts.

Yes, this isn't the first time I've heard of a case like this but never for a specific item, usually for money, just to live on.

Something smells a little fishy to me. 17 yr old gone three days apparently without Mom's knowledge? And in a hospital having a major operation? This just isn't the norm in China. Not denying the organ buying/selling aspect as it's well known that it goes on. But this case just doesn't seem to fit.

So how does one go about selling a kidney exactly? I have one of my wife's for sale if anyone's interested?

Ignoring the post above, which seems a bit off topic, can I sell my iPad to get a kidney?

Other than saving another person's life, something like that is never worth it
