Would you think it is a scandal if he was 30?


Yeah, the real headline is "Chinese 17 year-old sells kidney without parents knowledge."


Plenty of people selling kidneys to pay for food or hospital treatment for relative. Or flights to Europe.


On the other hand, he didn't have to pay an arm and a leg...


What is he going to do when ipad 3 comes out?


fuckwit alert!
