Following a fatal decision in teens, a young Chinese will spend the rest of her life in bed. When Wang Shangkun was 17 years old when he decided to sell one black kidney to buy an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. "What do I need two kidney?" He said at the time. "One suffices."
And so it happened. Shangkun sold one kidney in 2011 and as a result of the non-sanitary conditions in which intervention and lack of post-operative medical care were performed, the remaining kidney of the teenager went off function. Today, he can not survive without constant dialysis.
The operation was conducted by two local doctors and Shangkun received $ 3,500 for the sold organ. His family lived in one of the poorest provinces of China and could not afford the equipment they wanted to be seen by their comrades.
