A kidney for an iPad "A Chinese teenager was so desperate to acquire the new iPad 2 that he sold one of his kidneys for just L 2,000 [$3,300] to pay for it, according to reports. The 17-year-old boy, identified only by his surname, Zheng, confessed to his mother that he had sold the kidney after spotting an online advertisement offering cash to anyone prepared to become an organ donor," says The Daily Telegraph. ". . . [T]he boy told Shenzen TV in the southern province of Guangdong: 'When I surfed the Internet I found an advert posted online . . . saying they were able to pay 20,000 yuan to buy a kidney.'" He travelled north to the city of Chenzhou, where his kidney was removed and he was paid a total of 22,000 yuan. He suffered complications following the surgery and was unable to keep what he had done from his mother.
