男孩卖肾,只为购买iPad

Philip Elmer-DeWitt 2011年06月03日

苹果(Apple)公司内部流传着一个老笑话,那就是史蒂夫·乔布斯周围是一片“现实扭曲力场”:你离他太近的话,就会相信他所说的话。苹果的数百万用户中已经有不少成了该公司的“信徒”,而很多苹果投资者也赚得盆满钵满。不过,Elmer-DeWitt认为,在报道苹果公司时有点怀疑精神不是坏事。听他的应该没错。要知道,他自从1982年就开始报道苹果、观察史蒂夫·乔布斯经营该公司。
该男孩目前身体状况不佳。据中文媒体报道,他以20,000元(3,000美元)的价格卖掉了自己的肾,现在追悔莫及。

    这个故事的意义不言而喻。

    据上周四的《上海日报》(Shanghai Daily)报道,中国淮山市一名17岁的中学生卖掉了自己右侧的肾脏,只是为了买一款苹果公司(Apple)最热销的产品。

    这位姓郑的少年在接受《环球时报》中文版采访时说:“当时我想买一个iPad2,但是没钱。在上网时,有中介就发信息来,说卖一个肾可以给我两万块。”

    不幸的是,郴州这家为小郑实施换肾手术的医院并不具备器官移植的资质。患者现在身体每况愈下,追悔莫及。

    得知儿子的遭遇后,小郑的母亲随即向警方报案。目前案件正在调查中。

    This is one of those stories that speaks for itself.

    According to Thursday's Shanghai Daily, a 17-year-old student in Huaishan City, China, gave his right kidney to get his hands on Apple's (AAPL) hottest-selling product.

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

    As luck would have it, the hospital in Chenzhou City that performed the procedure was not qualified to do organ transplants, and the patient, feeling worse for wear, regrets having made the bargain.

    When he told his mother what he had done, she called the police. The case is being investigated.
