China: Teenager 'sells kidney for iPad'

By Martin Patience

BBC News, Beijing

The iPad 2 went on sale in China last month

A teenager in China has sold one of his kidneys in order to buy an iPad 2, Chinese media report.

The 17-year-old, identified only as Little Zheng, told a local TV station he had arranged the sale of the kidney over the internet.

The story only came to light after the teenager's mother became suspicious.

The case highlights China's black market in organ trafficking. A scarcity of organ donors has led to a flourishing trade.

Deep red scar

It all started when the high school student saw an online advert offering money to organ donors.

Illegal agents organised a trip to the hospital and paid him $3,392 (£2,077) after the operation.

With the cash the student bought an iPad 2, as well as a laptop.

When his mother noticed the computers and the deep red scar on his body, which was caused by the surgery, Little Zheng confessed.

In 2007, Chinese authorities banned organ trafficking and have introduced a voluntary donor scheme to try to combat the trade.

Please.. People have sold their bodies for drugs/money That's more severe than this...

chile where is yo sense, adults make these choices this is not a decision for a child to make under the influence of buying a must have gadget that in a few years will be replaced with something else, the whole issue here is one folks are taught they MUST have this or that because the media tells them that, which means muthafuckas aint learning to think for themselves, and secondly you learn to get what you want in ways that are healthy, if you sell yo body, or parts of it, drugs and do shit like that you teach kids "sure you can have what you want as long as you trade your soul with the devil peddling that shit you want"
