Only when he could bear it no longer did he tell us."He said, Mum, I sold my kidney."When I heard it I felt like the sky was crashing down on our family."The boy's mother alerted police after she found out but they were unable to locate the broker as his phone was switched off.The hospital was not authorised to perform organ transplants, and claimed they had no idea about the surgery because the department had been contracted to a businessman from a neighbouring province, reports said.WTF?! That is actually unbelievable! Full article +videos here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shade_13 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 lets try and see the bright sides. At least he didnt go cut somebody in an alley and took their money. And well maybe his kidney will save a life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumRoll Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 meh, its his right as a human being to sell himself off for products that will be obsolescent within a couple of months. Still at least he's still got one kidney left for the iPad 3:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumRoll Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I don't think he'll ever turn it back on. It was probably just a cheap one that he threw away afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinkie Pie Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I don't think he'll ever turn it back on. It was probably just a cheap one that he threw away afterwards.Disposabl phones are really easy o come by so that makes sense. That kid wasted his kidney. What's he going to do when the iPad 3 comes out? Apple products have a relevancy life of one year at max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seirachan Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 The bad thing about this is the kid took a huge risk. They could have killed him when they knocked him out to take his kidney. Hes lucky these people didn't take his life and use his body for all of it's parts. It was a crazy stupid thing to do. It may end up killing him in the future since now hes missing a kidney. But he will probably die from something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDoomBunny Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Geez that is a bit extreme huh, Insane! I mean okay yes know this isn't the point, but he could have sold his kidney for quite a bit of money and then just purchased those items. But dear lord kids are insane these days.
