Charges filed against five who removed teen’s kidney

Last year, a Chinese teen sold his kidney to raise money to buy an Apple iPad and iPhone. Now, five people, including the surgeon who conducted the operation, are being charged with "intentional injury."

According to prosecutors, the boy, who was 17 at the time of the operation, has suffered from renal deficiency, a serious medical condition in which the kidney fails to filter toxins and waste from the blood stream.

Wow! Just plain, Wow:headlights:

[Etienne]

Very dump, but the poverty. :(

I wouldn't do it.

Maybe a lack of education and information?

[kwame k]

Maybe but.....it doesn't take a "Rocket Surgeon" to figure out that a kidney is a good thing to have;)

More disturbing that it's possible, even if illegally, in China to sell parts of your body.

[kwame k]

Very disturbing and it's been going on enough for the government to step in.

My heart does go out to the truly poor people of the world but selling your organs, vital organs at that:(

[Etienne]

Ironically the iPads and iPhones are produced in China.

True, but they have a thing or two to learn about manufacturing drywall.

Very true and a sad state when you can't afford what is produced in your own country:(

I know, not having that Shelby Cobra is killing me.

Don't even try selling your liver, bro!

They wanted me to pay to take mine....something about toxic disposal charge;)

[DONNIEP]

This would have never happened if China hadn't relaxed their restrictions on porn on the internet :)

[kwame k]

Agreed.......no good could ever come from messing with pron;)

So is money. I think free Americans should be able to sell kidneys, but it would have to be through official means. That brings up all the problems of poor people not getting them, liability for when your 1 left goes bad, etc... But I still think I should be able to sell one of my kidneys legally if I choose.

Donating one of your kidneys. Well, but Selling?

There's still the risk when your second kidney doesn't work right.

Each country has his own legislations and limitations about organ donation and transplants.

An organ for an iPad is pretty mental but there are people willing to sell their kidney, for example, to get out of poverty. In 2010 Israeli police cracked down on an organized organ trafficking gang.

wonder what the kid has to give up when he needs an upgrade?

[Little Texan]

I'd be inclined to believe this kid if he were to say he'd give his left nut for an Ipad!
