Emm, is this for real ? What is this kid gonna do when iPad3 comes out, sell the other one ?

Read about this on Neowin a couple of days back. Crazy world.

I'll sell one of my kidney for a Nikon D3s. Any takers?

 

[Sylar]

Holy crap. Why would anyone feel the need to go that far!? Lol..

 

[Digital Doctor]

The video says he sold his kidney for 2000 Pounds.
Isnt that like 3 iPads.
Thankfully he didn't sell his heart !

Unfortunately it is for real. He's been suffering from some complications as a result of the surgery and the fact that the surgeon was a whack job.
Good grief...

Isn't that illegal????

certainly would be here.

That is sad, even though it's his body and he can perfectly function without, it would be nicer if one could donate it to a family member (or someone else in need) some time instead of selling it for a stupid gadget. And yes it is now illegal to sell/buy organs in China.

What does this say about today's society, no matter which country you live in.
That someone would sell a kidney, endure a major surgery, just for an iPad2??

C'mon....

If only we could understand what was going through the kids mind at that moment. And where were this kid's parents, clearly he is a minor? I've heard China has some serious charges for those sort of things, if I'm not mistaken up to the death penalty.

Wait a minute.............................he sold his OWN kidney? It just says he sold A kidney.

If he had the money to buy a kidney I think he would've had enough to buy an iPad.

Yes he sold his own kidney. Watch the vid. He shows his scar, and you see him crying, because he's suffering from some complications from the surgery.

Yep they do. But they can't find the persons who were involved in both the surgery, and setting up the surgery and transaction.
