Cypress Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 How bad do you want one? I want one pretty bad, but I'm not willing to sell off one of my kidneys for it. I'm sure he'll regret it once the iPad 3 comes out...but I suppose he could sell off part of his liver then.http://digitallife.today.com/_news/2011/06/02/6772047-boy-sells-kidney-for-ipad-2?chromedomain=technolog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I'm very positive an American teenager would do the same thing if they could find someone willing to buy a kidney. The blackmarket is easier to find over there than here for organ trafficing I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I wanted to get Carrie an ipad for her birthday. Anyone need a slightly abused kidney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saralynn518 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 man i thought kidneys were worth more..In the comment section of the article, someone mentions that what he received was equivalent to two years salary for the average Chinese household. I'd do it right now if I could get 80k.(from comment section) "What you people fail to understand that is really a heartbreaking (not stupid) story. 20,000 RMB is almost 2 years worth of salary for the average Chinese household. Can you imagine what some people would do for ~$80k here in the U.S. in order to survive? I know money is only temporary but please be cognizant of the facts before you blast a possibly impoverished kid for "being stupid"."

CoolWhip Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I like both my kidneys just fine, thank you. I personally do not think the iPad is all that great; definitely not worth my kidney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJ Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 If this was legal in the United States there would be a line at the clinic every morning 5 miles long.Fortunately we still keep it pretty controlled in the US - someone getting paid for an organ is pretty likely to be less than forthcoming about their medical/social history...
