    Teen 'sells kidney' for iPad2


    A 17-year-old boy in China sold his kidney to buy a computer and a phone, local media reported.
    Shanghai Daily said the teen, named only as Zheng, from the eastern Anhui Province got 22,000 yuan (US$3,393) for selling one of his vital organs.
    But it was a decision he soon came to regret as his health is deteriorating, Shenzhen Satellite TV said.
    "I wanted to buy an iPad 2 but could not afford it," said Zheng. "A broker contacted me on the Internet and said he could help me sell one kidney for 20,000 yuan."
    On April 28th, Zheng went to Chenzhou City in neighboring Hunan Province to have the kidney removed in a surgery arranged by the broker.
    His parents knew nothing about it, Zheng confirmed. He was paid 22,000 yuan after his right kidney was taken out at the Chenzhou No. 198 Hospital
