Beijing, June 3 (IANS/RIA Novosti) A teenager in China's Anhui province has sold his right kidney to buy an iPad 2. His mother, who knew nothing of his plans, now hopes to hunt down the criminals who disabled him, a media report said.
Seventeen-year-old Xiao Zheng had been dreaming of a new iPad 2 for a while, but the price was beyond his means.

:facepalm:

Sad. Hope they find the culprit and send them to jail.

We should think about how good we have it. We would never trade our kidney for an iPad2 because we are rich enough that we don't have to be that desperate.

This guy has his priorities screwed up.
An Idiot for sure.
I would say its sad story if it happened because he had to put food on his table.

Exactly! Then he would be desperate, can't see any desperation in the wish to get some fancy plastic consumer good by all means.

A great candidate for the Darwin Award if he dies of kidney failure.
