Ominous signs?
There’s a mention at the end of this article that his health is starting to deteriorate.
I’d call that fairly ominous. How about you?

I suppose you could call it mental instability and it certainly qualifies as self-harm but I wonder how many teenagers have committed crime (other than organ trafficking) to obtain an iPad? He may also have saved a life by his actions.
Ominous signs? I hope he doesn’t ever need his donated kidney but he’s young, was healthy (presumably) and he’s got a better reason to look after himself now than most teenagers.

…..but with this guys ‘get-up-and-go’ we’ll probably be buying our next gadget from his company in a few years!
Unless his remaining kidney packs in. (Apparently there are already ominous signs in that respect.)
In which case, we won’t.

Sorry Creak, but “Get up and go” is not how I would describe what is actually Self Harm. It shows a mental instability IMO, and not the best person to be running a Company.

I doubt he lost a kidney so he could **** about on Facebook! As has been said this gadget will be outdated in twelve-months but with this guys ‘get-up-and-go’ we’ll probably be buying our next gadget from his company in a few years!

He’s not the first to do it nor will he be the last. It’s just that he decided to brag that he’s bought a grown-ups Etch-a-sketch which, as stated, will be old hat in 12 months.

OMG,That`s aweful…………
It is, £2077 for a Chinese Kidney:eek:
More fool anyone who wants to go down that route of wasting money and ruining your health on something that will be outdated soon.

OMG,That`s aweful…………
I’m not an iPad fan either!
Seriously though, it is a frightening story – I wonder what the medical ethics people reckon!
