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.

    He's not dead, though, or even unable to reproduce - he's just bedridden. It's a bit horrible to say but in some ways that's worse.

    The perfect excuse to stay in bed all day and play Angry Birds on his iPhone.
