How strong is your love for a phone? Think about it, and respond - mentally - fast.
In a local TV news I watched an unbelievable report. A 25-year-old woman sold one of her kidneys to buy one of the most current versions of the iPhone.
This is a very insane thing to do. how can anyone be so alienated at this point?

I will admit I really like my phone, it's how I do all this and other things. But I would sell my kindey for it.

@WiseGhots I don't have a clue, I guess just to be cool looking.

I found this incredibly stupid. I mean, how can anyone do this for such a futile reason?

@hillhjill This may not be the main reason, but it must be one of them. Something related to social status I guess.

So much as I love my Android wouldn't make me sell any part of my organs to buy a product from Tim cooks and his team

@WiseGhots honestly anyone who does that's in my opinion is currently taking anything relating to life to be a joke and a fun thing..

If my kidneys can grow back I will but kidneys don't grow back.

@WiseGhots I remember there is a fictional character who can grow back body parts.

Oh goodness, I thought you were referring to the story I read recently about the young teenage Chinese guy who sold one of his kidneys to by an iPhone. But, he did it through the black market. A quack doctor did the surgery and now the guy's life is ruined as he has to be hooked up to dialysis for the rest of his life. He came from a poor family and did this behind his parents back. They did end up getting some money to help pay for his medical bills. All that , ruined his life for an iPhone.

@WiseGhots They are crazy. They don't think of the possible consequences.

Hell no. I think that's too much, I understand if people have the money to get a new phone (no matter if it's the latest one) but if you just DON'T then for the love of God don't do this kind of thing. iPhone will promote this device for a few months and then come back with a new one that's exactly the same, your kidney is not gonna come back.

@WiseGhots our life together with our body was the greatest gift we have ever receive from God so we have to respect it and take good care of it while we are living here on earth :)

That actually makes me a little bit angry that someone could disregard their organs so easy, and people who give to the black market organ trade are only hurting those who follow the rules but are still waiting for their lives to be saved. What a stupid and selfish thing to do
