Chinese Boy Sells Kidney For iPad2

aquabat writes "According to Shanghai Daily, a boy from the Anhui Province desperately wanted to buy Apple's flagship tablet but didn't have enough cash. Rather than waiting to save up the money for the Apple product when it invariably gets marked down, the lad decided to sell one of his kidneys for 22,000 yuan (roughly $3,400) so he could afford one. But, surprisingly, the scenario in which the organ was harvested wasn't in the best of conditions, and the boy isn't feeling very well."

One kidney? That's a bargain! Over here it costs an arm and a leg.

Hope he got the wifi model

Prostitution worked for me.

I don't think you understand. When you pay people to have sex with you, you aren't the prostitute.
