A teenager in China named Xiao Zheng, 17, could not buy one of the new tablet-style computers that are seen as symbols of wealth in China, the Ipad2. So he decided to sell his kidney.
The teenager told Shenzhen TV in the southern province of Guangdong: 'I wanted to buy an iPad2, but I didn't have the money. 'When I surfed the internet I found an advert posted online by an agent saying they were able to buy a kidney.' he travelled to the city and removed his kidney.
Private surgeons had hired out a room at the facility to perform the risky procedure on April 28. He was discharged after three days and given 20,000 yuan, or £1,884, for the organ. He bought an iPad2 and an iPhone but when he returned home his suspicious mother wanted to know where the goods had come from. Later he confessed that he had a surgery and sold his kidney to buy the Ipad, Iphone and a laptop.
The police were called but they could not trace any of the three men who had done the operation for this boy to remove his kidney.

This is incredible! This boy clearly does not know the value of human body. I was petrified when I read this news. I am actually quite speechless. There are many other ways in which he could have bought his ipad. He had to go work to earn money. The youth thinks money should come from a three in the backyard or something. I am glad that the surgery went good because things could have gone very very bad for this boy. An ipad, laptop, iphone whatever is nothing compared to a human body. It is a sad story to see how far people go to get material.
