Kidney=Ipad?


How far would you go to get an Ipad? How about sell one of your organs? A 17-year-old boy joined an online chat room and sold his kidney. The buyer paid $3,500. The kidney was then used in an illegal transplant. There is 6000 people every year the dye from lack of kidney doctors. The teen is not suffering from renal deficiency ( inability of the kidney to excrete metabolites at normal plasma levels under normal loading, or inability to retain electrolytes when intake is normal; in the acute form, marked by uremia and usually by oliguria, with hyperkalemia and pulmonary edema. AKA bad.) and his health is declining at a rapid pace. But he has his Ipad.

  1. It is kind of sad that our country is so materialistic that we risk our health for something like an Ipad. If he dies, he won't even get to use the Ipad anymore.
