“I wanted to buy an iPad 2, but I didn’t have the money,” the boy told Shenzhen TV in the southern province of Guangdong, “When I surfed the internet I found an advert posted online by agent saying they were able to pay RMB20,000 to buy a kidney.” After negotiations, the boy travelled north to the city of Chenzhou in Hunan Province where the kidney was removed at a local hospital which discharged him after three days, paying a total of RMB22,000 for the organ.
Trading organs online is very much like us shopping for clothes online its that common, the Chinese government cannot do anything at the moment in time because there isn't a law against, and there are over 23 Organ trading sites popping up everyday.
Zheng returned home after some complications after the surgery, trying to hide what he had done to his mother, she only found out due to the fact that her son had gained an iPad2 with a high amount of money. Zheng then confessed he had sold one of his kidneys.
After this the mother had dicided to contact the police, willingly Zheng gave up the 3 mobile numbers of the agents who had guided him and then brought the kidney from him, but since all 3 mobiles have been deactivated.
