    I thought that too, but that must have been a different case. From what I can find, this one just came to light a day or two ago.
    No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power. — P.J. O'Rourke

    Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. — Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988)

    There was something about a Chinese couple selling their kids for money so they could play videogames at an internet cafe.This is basically a step up.

    "In today's society where desires are infinite and demands are boundless ... blindly competing with others in the pursuit of high-end 'technology' will gradually ruin lives," it said.
    I love how technology has quotes around it.

    Isn't the body part the standard currency in China?

    The renminbi or 人民币 is how they officially call money in China. "Ren" means person/people and "min bi" means currency chicken feed, so you're probably right.
