This crazy.... its apple marketing which is causing all this... people and kids with no brains consider it matter of pride to hold a Idevice... there is nothing special in stupid apple devices, I went to store compared s**tty 3g small iphone 4s and galaxy note with LTE and huge screen and paid more to get the galaxy note..... APPLE .. STOP MAKING FOOL OF PEOPLE AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW ANY THING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY...

But in turn it is the person's choice to either do something illegal or idiotic in order to own these devices. It is up to them to research the products they buy the information is out there so if they do it because they are so obssessed in order to sell something like a kidney vs an old device in order to get a new device whether it be apple or a samsung then it is there bad decision to do so. Apple did not hold this person down and say "Sell a kidney so you can afford the ipad 2!" Freewill and bad choices are what did it.

HE might sell his retina just to have a look at that retina display as he got 2 eyes .
the reason he sell his kidney is because it has 2 right ?
No matter what device he bought , android or ios its a bad idea to sell of your kidney .

Human exploitation is common in China .
BTW if i sell my kidney it would be so that i can start a business or invest in bonds/gold/stocks when i get rich i buy another kidney back not for a stupid tablet

But int urn he did not sell it to donate it to a hostpital he did it under the black market for money HUGE difference of free choice to sell your body parts. Its called black market because the people behind it are not doing it either up to health code standards or not its the same thing if someone says oh hey I can get augmentation or eye surgery for 300 sweet vs going to a licenced professional and paying more money to get it done right. who is to say that these people who placed this kidney into someone who needed it even did a good job. Thats why there are rules.
