A teenager in China's Anhui province sold his right kidney to buy a new iPad 2, satellite TV channel Dongfang reported Thursday.

Seventeen-year-old Xiao Zheng had been dreaming of a new iPad 2 for a while, but the price was way beyond his means.

Zheng found an agent ready to buy his kidney on the internet and travelled to Hunan Province in central China to undergo surgery in a local hospital.  


With the 22,000 yen ($3,900) he was paid, Zheng bought a new iPad 2 and iPhone and then returned home.


So there is people who go mad about the gadgets. What is the reason that people take such extreme steps for gaining something which is unnecessary ?

Madness

idea posted by Disha Roy Lecturer, St Xaviers College

This is a total madness. There people who get addicted to video games and die because they just can't stop playing. Then there are people with something mad in mind like this boy. we have seen people selling blood for money and now kidney. It is simply a mad state of mind which needs psycological counselling.

I agree with you disha... Its really a madness of a person, who really don't understand which is important in this world. you can find this kind of people all over the world. but this one incident become visible bcoz of someone. Do you know what is the basic cause for this... Simple money and prestige.. And the will to attain anything whatever it may cast... you know it not only adds this kidney issue but also giving up virginity, going to jail,..etc.. its a long chain... no one can help with it...

Think that a person has a mobile which has not modern tech in it.. And in his gang everyone has a modern mobile.. What will he think of himself... There are two possibility of thoughts in this....

First... The one who really understands the true purpose of mobile and understand the needs... Really this kind of people analyze the situation before get into it... I'm sure they will ignore...

Second... The one who is craze about others and feels that they are not up to the level of others... This feeling will drag them into the madness that they should prove to their group no matter what happens to them...The will do anything to achieve their goal ( money or prestige ).

All this things can only be dealt by a proper education to the society... Everyone is talking about providing sex education, but this basic education is more important than anything else in this world..

Finally i wish to place one more command : Nowadays people prioritize people based on their money.. not on their character... It must change...

Innocent

idea posted by Kumara Swamy Project Associate, IIIT-H
As the discussion is started by considering teenagers, I can say that the are doing this because of innocence. Please think, if this is happening in China, there is a high probability that the same can also happen with India also. Let us all educate the teenagers for not doing so in India at least.

SOME PEOPLE TEND TO LOSE MARBLES AND RESORT TO ANYTHING TO GET THEIR WAY. THE IPAD2 MAKES PEOPLE GO GAGA AND ATTRACTS THE CROWD SO THAT COMPANY CAN MAKE A KILLING. SUCH CELLULAR PHONE BUFFS NEED TO BE COUNSELLED SO THAT THEY CAN'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN.

THANKS FOR THE INVITE....
