Teacher ShelleWant an iPad 2? That’ll be One Kidney
 A 17-year old with the last name Zheng wanted an iPad 2 so bad that he decided to sell one of his kidneys to get one. In a society where organ trading is surprisingly common, Zheng stumbled across an advertisement online offering RMB20,000 for one of his kidneys. After talking it over with an agent, the boy traveled to Chenzhou in the Hunan Province to have the operation performed. After three days he was discharged with the money. Of course, a happy ending is rare in cases of black market organ removal and Apple products, as the young man apparently suffered complications AND his mother was absolutely livid. After inquiring as to where her son got the money to purchase what was revealed to be a laptop and a new Apple headset, the boy showed his mother, identified as Miss Liu, his fancy new scar. She ended up taking him back to the hospital where the procedure was performed, though they denied even knowing that the surgery took place. Apparently the hospital contracted its urology department to a private businessman, though when she attempted to contact the cell phone of the agents Zheng contacted, the phones were switched off. Did anyone think this would be upstanding, ethical individuals? source: www.weirdasianews.com |
