Un jovencito chino de 17 años, vendió su riñón derecho para comprar un iPad 2. El jóven, originario de la Ciudad de Huaishan dijo que quería comprar desesperadamente un iPad 2 pero no podía costearlo. Se puso en contacto con un comisionista en línea quien le dijo que podría obtener 22,000 yenes (aproximadamente $3,400) si vendía su riñón.

"Quería comprar un iPad 2 pero no podía costearlo" dijo el chico cuyo nombre es Zheng, en la Ciudad de Huaishan. "Un comisionista me contactó en internet y dijo que podría ayudarme a vender un riñón por 20,000 yenes."

Su madre informó a la policía inmediatamente después de descubrir que le habían extirpado el riñón derecho a su hijo en el Hospital Chenzhou. El hospital no cuenta con las instalaciones ni el equipo apropiado para realizar dicha cirugía, la cual dura aproximadamente tres horas.

La policía está haciendo las investigaciones del caso y la salud del jovencito se está deteriorando.

Pretty sad, but that follows the stigmata of the Apple cult. Maybe if the iPad didn't have a ridiculous markup (as does all apple products), he wouldn't have had to go to this extream

He didn't say "ALL," quit being ridiculous.

This is crazy

Bit drastic I'm an apple fan but I think that's crazy

What the news didn't say...is if sold it to Steve J.

I don't think he even has his iPad yet, I mean he probably didn't get paid until after the surgery so if he's still in the hospital he might die before he even gets the chance to purchase one.

As I understand it the procedure wasn't even conducted at the hospital and that's why his health is at risk at the moment..

Okay... So a husband returned his and apple gave him a new one. I think this kid, though very stupid, deserves an iPad, an iMac and a call from Steve on his new iPhone to thank him for taking fanboy to a whole new level!!

Why is this news? I thought this is a normal thing. I sold my left nut for a CD player 7 years ago and I didn't make the news.

Did you receive the CD player?

Apparently working is completely out of the question. When will people realize you can't cut corners and get everything you want right now?

What if he can't earn enough to buy an ipad 2, you talk like everyone works for 2500$/month, i dont approve of the kid's actions, but you really cant talk like this about a kid who maybe works in a nike/adidas factory for 2 bucks a month..

Agreed with Nick!

Anything and everything is a reason to blame Obama. Welfare existed way before he was elected even under Reagan and the Bushs.

I love how barely anybody ever talks about Clinton, and he's the entire reason we're even in this mess. It's because of him that people were able to buy houses they couldn't afford in the first place, and then had to foreclose on that caused this entire mess.

Perf - June 3, 2011 at 2:00am

No, seriously, i didn't say you have to make 2500$/month just so you can afford an ipad, but you really don't know if he earns even a fifth of that, and you don't know if he works at all. Who knows maybe he works hrs/day - which is definetly more then you do, and earns a few $$ cuz he lives somewhere where they can't buy such stuff. Anyway i don't condone smth like this, and disagree with a kid, just annoyed by ppl talking like go get a job or smth. ...
