In April 2011, 17 year old Wang Shangkunsold a kidney to buy an iPhone. When asked why he did this, the man said “Why do I need a second kidney? One is enough,”.
The man subsequently developed complications and now needs regular dialysis to survive. The complications may have been caused by a lack of post operative care. The doctors involved have been arrested.

"you can't expect a 17 year old to know better."
Are you kidding me?
At 10, I knew better than to sell bits of my body for any reason at all - let alone to buy a fucking consumer electronics product. If you reckon it's normal for a 17 year old nowadays to think a kidney is worth selling, it says something truly sad about today's teenagers - or about your opinion of teenagers.
