An Apple A Day Brings The Doctor To Play

What would you do for an iPad 2?

Hmmmmmm ... 

Let's see, I might sell ....

My clothes, my shoes, my old electronics ...

Hey, if it came down to it, some people might sell their bodies ...

But, not in a million years would I sell my body PARTS.

But that's just what one kid in China did.

******

     Now, I understand that in order to survive you only need one kidney but how on Earth did this kid make the decision, or even originally get the idea, to sell his kidney for the money? Was he just sitting around one day, googling "how to make quick cash" and this broker just popped up in some random Chinese chat room and offered him around 3 grand for his kidney and he thought it was a good idea? 

     And then, after that initial offer, when the dim light bulb above this kid's head lit up and he travelled to the hospital, what idiot surgeon in the hospital that apparently is "not authorised to perform organ transplants" actually removed his kidney, anyway? Are they just knife happy in China? I'm sure that Doc was getting something out of that sweet kidney-deal.

     Maybe he regrets his decision to sell his organ on the black market now but he's got a few things out of this craziness besides a criminal investigation (it's ongoing at the moment because the broker's cell has been off) ... 

1) He's got a sweet scar to show off ... 

2) He's got the iPad 2 so he can surf the web on the go and find out the going rate for his other organs in case he's ever in a bind and needs some quick cash.

3) He's got an iPhone (yep, he bought one of those too with the money he got for his kidney) in order to call any brokers, if he decides to sell any other organs.

You can't always get what you want. You can't always get what you want. You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you might find you get what you need. (You Can't Always Get What You Want, The Rolling Stones)
