Wauw.....so crazy : Selling kidneys for iPad

 May be this is one of  impact of technological progress and poverty on the other hand. I get this news from kompas.com. Wish it won't happen or won't be imitated by our children:

A Chinese teenager has reportedly sold one of his kidneys for 20,000 yuan ($3170) so he could buy an iPad 2.
The high school student from Anhui Province, Xiao Zhang, confessed to his mother that he was motivated to sell the kidney after seeing an internet ad offering cash to people who were prepared to become organ donors, the Global Times reported. His mother had discovered the iPad 2 and forced him to reveal how he was able to afford it.
"I wanted to buy an iPad 2, but I didn't have the money," the boy told Shenzhen TV. He also bought an iPhone and a laptop with the proceeds from the sale, his mother said.
Chenzhou 198 Hospital in Hunan Province, where the boy reportedly had his surgery, does not have qualifications for kidney transplantation. It has denied any connection with the organ removal but has admitted contracting out its urology department to a private businessman.
The buying and selling of organs is a growing issue in China and the government has so far failed to stamp out the practice. There have been many reports of "transplant tourists" who come from rich countries to buy much-needed organs from poor, desperate people.
The blackmarket trade is driven by the fact that there are many times more people waiting for organs than there are legitimate donors.
Zheng's mother told Shenzhen TV that she took her son to report the matter to police but the agents who had organised the organ trade were uncontactable. Police are reportedly trying to track down the buyers.

Act sooner than thought, maybe that's the motto of the student. The important thing is getting what he wants a new sense of suffering. Sad ya mom... just to feel the regret of the learner,

In my opinion, if the purchase of technology products, must be traced from the level of need, if necessary and beneficial to support our activities, work, then it does not matter.

But if just prestige, etc., is really ironic ...

This is really horrible. How could a man be able to sell a kidney to an object that can be easily damaged?. Is not that tantamount to reduce health in him?. a kidney is very useful for humans in the process of filtering water in the body. Loss of one kidney only means the disease and should facilitate the operation may require a kidney transplant more ... healthcare is expensive. Bayangkn only when we are sick of the cost is not small. really regretted.
