Every year tech giant Apple released another update of their products, unwittingly forcing millions of people to pursue the purchase of new devices. Sometimes this desire becomes frightening scale, as in the case of a Chinese teenager Wang shankuan.
In 2011, the guy was 17 and he was willing to do anything to acquire just-released iPhone 4 and iPad 2. To buy the technique of Apple, Wong went on a radical step – he had sold his kidney for $3.5 thousand This is quite enough for purchase of expensive electronics. However, the consequences were much more serious than expected young man.
Due to the fact that the operation to remove the kidney took place in a clandestine clinic in the body Shangkun became infected. In addition, the guy actually left without rehabilitation. This has led to the emergence of renal failure, and a few years later Wong was confined to his bed. The only thing that keeps a man alive – daily dialysis treatment.
The young man said that he intended to sell a kidney for $20 million, but after the surgery, the people who «helped» him get rid of the body, divided most of the money among themselves. Sankung received about $3.5 thousand, which quickly ended.
«At that time I really wanted to buy an iPad 2, but I have absolutely no money. When I found out online that sale on may fetch $20 thousand, then decided to act. Then it seemed like a second kidney, I absolutely do not need,» – says the guy.
Now 25-year-old Wong sankung forced daily to fight for his life. Against persons involved in this crime opened a criminal case and 5 people in 2012, was sent to prison. The Wong family later received a $300 thousand payment, but the health of the young man the money was not returned.
