Unhealthy apple
Recently, Apple has been at the heart of many controversies in China. This latest story involves kidneys.
Five people, including a surgeon, have been arrested after a teen sold his kidney to buy an iPad. The teen is now suffering from renal failure.
The group, which made US$35,000 for the transaction, has been charged with causing intentional injury and illegal organ trading.
Sadly, this is just one of many black market transactions in a country that desperately needs organ donors.
Around 1.5 million people in China need transplants, but only 10,000 are performed annually.
