Selling your body in China
Danwei has an article describing two advertisements in Chinese newspapers and fliers. One, from a self-described “healthy individual” offered to sell healthy organs to anyone “in need.” The other offered to stalk a person, or inflict vengeance in the form of cutting off an arm or leg.
“We can cut hands, feet, or we can ‘do’ someone directly. But that’s the most expensive - it costs 50,000 yuan.”
Sounds like what the Mafia used to do for free in the US.
