Kidneys for an iPad 2

How far would you go to get one of those fancy Apple iDevices? A kid in China decided it was worth one of his kidneys.

This also involves the black market trafficking of human organs. I’m fortunate enough to be able to own an iPad 2 but I think we’ve lost focus on what’s really more valuable.
