Teen bedridden for life after selling kidney for an iPhone

Accepted submission by Anonymous Coward at 2019-01-20 09:46:46 from the Eye for an I dept dept.

The gene pool may soon be somewhat cleaner if people do as one man did when he sold a kidney to buy an iPhone [news.com.au]. 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.
