[AndrewW-G]

Interesting story in the Telegraph this morning, about a Chinese kid who sold one of his kidneys for £2200 so he could buy an iPad and is now suffering from renal failure

Darwinism at its very best

He'll have something to entertain him whilst in hospital though. Every cloud, and all that.

I thought they sold for more than 2k?

There seems to be more than one idiot willing to swap a kidney for a fondleslab, as "my" guy is called Wang and yours is called Zheng

The deal included an iPhone didn't it? Be fair.... Not bad.

If you included your lungs I have a BT answering machine with a new tape in it. Let me know.

[audidoody]

Only a kidney? He got a good deal. They usually cost an arm and a leg.

He's probably half your age, one 50th as rich as you, and he has renal failure - what satisfaction do you get out of calling him an 'idiot'?

My personal circumstances play no role in my decision to describe the people concerned as idiots. It is simply a very apt description of somebody willing to accept a significant risk of death, in return for something that is little more than a toy.

He is merely stating a fact. Idiot is a very good description. Makes no difference how wealthy anyone here is, without health it means very little. As the kid is finding out right now. Trading health for wealth is indeed idiotic.
