If you are reading now iDevice.ro for the first time, then you don't know that in China enough people are willing to sell his internal organs to buy Apple iDevices. I am talking about such a case today because in a province in China 9 people were sent to court because they helped a young man sell his kidney to buy Apple products. Among the 9 people are: the surgeon who extracted the kidney, the intermediaries of the transaction, the head of the urology department of a hospital, etc.
Nine people went on trial in southern China over allegations they helped a teenager to sell one of his kidneys so he could buy an iPhone and an iPad, a court in Hunan Province said Friday. Prosecutors said in court Thursday that the nine people "should be held criminally liable for intentional injury," the court in the province's Beihu District said in a statement Friday. The 17-year-old high school student from Anhui Province — who was referred to only buy his surname, Wang — suffered renal failure after the kidney was removed in April 2011, according to Xinhua.
If you ask how much the young man received for the sale of the kidney, an action that ultimately caused him kidney failure and many ancillary problems, then I will tell you that he received approximately $4.000, but those who handled the transaction have took almost $10.000 each. The young man's lawyer is now asking the 9 people for several hundred thousand dollars in compensation and moral/physical damages, but it remains to be seen if the court will respect this request.
In China, more and more young people resort to such extreme gestures to purchase Apple products, some young women being willing to sell their virginity for iDevices.
