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.

I certainly hope that I raise my own kids such that I can expect them not to sell body parts.
But no, I would not expect it from a 17 year old picked at random from the entire world.
For instance I assume there are at least hundreds of 17 year old hookers having unprotected sex with sailors that are probably not very cleanlooking; isn't that technically more dangerous? not just because of the possibly lethal STDs, but because of the drunken sailor getting angry and punching them into a coma.

I was always more concerned about those fresh-faced young sailors having sex with random teen-aged prostitutes who aren't very clean looking. Crack whores can be dangerous! ;^)
And, I'm only half joking. We didn't lose any shipmates to prostitutes from either of my two ships, but it happens.
