Heights of Stupidity: Boy Sells Kidney To Buy iPad 2

You will be shocked by hearing that only a 17-year old Chinese boy, identified as Xiao Zheng, has sold his right kidney to buy an iPad 2 tablet, as he couldn’t afford it and desired one rather badly. See the heights of stupidity; in fact it is beyond one’s imagination. This era is changing in every aspect that too at very fast speed whether science or technology but we can’t neglect the truth that mindset of people are also unbelievable nowadays. We can’t say which person will do what things at anytime or place. Let’s come to the main point here regarding the boy who sold an organ to purchase the deluxe Apple device (iPhone and iPad).

The boy, from the Anhui Province in eastern China found a black-market organs dealer online who offered to pay 20,000 yuan for the organ. ‘Zheng’ the high school freshman’s operation was carried out on 28th of April in Chenzhou No. 198 Hospital, in neighboring Hunan Province and his parents were unaware about it. He was paid 22,000 yuan (around $3400) for the kidney removal surgery arranged by the broker and discharged from the local hospital after three days. When he returned home, his mother was surprised viewing iPad 2 and an iPhone in his hand. After forcing him to tell the truth, she called the police immediately. The boy suffered medical complications due to the surgery. The hospital also denied any connection with the kidney-removal operation. The police could not locate the broker since his mobile was switched off. So, now the case is under investigation.

Moral of the story: Never sell any organs of the body to meet just few demands as they are precious gift of God. We can earn money by doing hard work in the life and fulfill our all needs but once natural thing goes out from our hand it never gets back at any cost.
