A 17-year-old student in Anhui Province sold one of his kidneys for 20,000 yuan only to buy an iPad 2. Now, with his health getting worse, the boy is feeling regret but it is too late, the Global Times reported today.

"I wanted to buy an iPad 2 but could not afford it," said the boy surnamed Zheng in Huaishan City. "A broker contacted me on the Internet and said he could help me sell one kidney for 20,000 yuan."

I was wondering about selling half my liver for rent money. It grows back eventually so it seemed like a better idea that selling a kidney. Sadly I lacked the connections to do so in a manner that won't leave me dead.
