Surgeon and accomplices go behind bars for shocking 'kidney-for-iPad' surgery

Just like any other teenager, then 17-year-old Wang wanted iOS devices and he wanted them badly.
20,000 Chinese yuan is the rough equivalent of $3,000, and that was enough to convince the teenager to sell his kidney.
On the other side of the story however is a group of seven that is said to have gotten nearly $35,000 for the transplant.
The shocking story became known after the teenager had to travel to the northern Chenzhou City for the surgery. He confessed to what he has done to his mother after suffering from renal failure and almost dying.
