China Boy’s Eyes Stolen by Thieves

china-eye-thieves

The case of a 6-year-old boy who had both his eyes plucked out so thieves could steal his corneas is the latest to outrage and disgust China.

Chinese media reports that a 6-year-old boy playing outside his Shanxi province home suddenly disappeared, only reappearing later that night collapsed in a field, where he was taken to hospital.

Police say he was kidnapped by unknown individuals, who plucked out both his eyes and left them with him in the field, minus their corneas.

As only the corneas were taken there is a strong suspicion they were stolen for sale on China’s illegal human organ market, and police are looking for a woman suspected of involvement.

The incident, extreme even by the standards of China, has been provoking a strong reaction online:

“This is too much!”

“If they really did this for money the country is finished…”

“This is like some horror film.”

“This must be the work of some psychopath?”

“It is utterly sickening.”

“This is the country where you wake up missing a kidney if you have surgery at their hospitals.”

“Japan’s horror movies have nothing on everyday life in China.”

“If it is for trade at least just take one eye.”

“That poor family!”

“Amazing that the boy survived the shock if they used no anaesthetic.”

“This is utterly bestial.”

“Even for China this is terrifying…”

    Then where was your god in the first place?
    Praying won't do any good because the boy is blinded for life unless there have been any recent advancements in eye transplants.

    Or bionics. Better start funding science so he can get some badass artificial eyes!

    God will not always stop humans from doing what they want even if what they want to do is evil. He lets them have as much rope to hang themselves with as they want: Eventually evil people pay for the evil they do while they're still living; then after they die God gets his hands on them, then he lets Satan play with what's left.
    As for the victims of whatever evil happened: Whether or not they are ever compensated for what happened to them seems to depends on how one views the subsequent remainder of their lives after the victimizing.

    That is ridiculous and you know it.

    I wouldn't put faith into a deity that lets stuff like this happen to children knowingly if I was paid money for it.

    We need more funding to bionics so boys like him can get badass artificial eyes in future

    Retard, organ traffic doesn't exist only in China. We should pluck out your eyes and give them to the boy.

    We know it doesn't only happen in China. It's the brutality of what was done, plus the inability of the afflicted to do anything about it that is the issue here.

    In Slumdog Millionaire the thugs using homeless children to earn money pluck the eyes out of the boys, as random pedestrians are more giving to child beggars with permanent disabilities.

    I would not be too sure about that. This very well could have happened in America as well, it is just sheer luck that it did not.

    This is disgusting... As for the kid, I fear that his life is more or less finished, I doubt that being blind in China leave you with any real opportunity for a decent job (or any job at all)...

    I certainly didn't see this kind of atrocity coming...

    I've heard of stealing organs, but why the eyes?

    What value do they see in them?

    Corneas are very good replacement organs for cataract sufferers. Also, because corneas are typically out of reach from blood vessels, there's a much lower chance of transplant rejection.

    with today's tech, we can easily make artificial corneas though.

    This makes no sense considering it's an incredibly fast procedure to replace clouded lenses in the eye with artificial ones.

    cornea has nothing to do with cataract.

    I dont know if I will get down vote but I have to confess that I don't know either. Come on, I grew up in a healthy environment and I don't know a damn thing regarding to which part of someone's body worth how much money and I don't need to know that either. (well, not until now)

    You should know about what parts of the body people use in transplants. At least the comon ones like cornea, heart, liver, etc.

    He is lucky he DOESN'T know about the worth of every organ and how far people are willing to go for a bit of money.

    You should watch Ray the Animation. Then you'll see what sort of value eyes have in the black market organ trade.

    The reported incident has misinformation... again.

    A woman drugged the kid and plucked out both his eyes, but the corneas are not stolen.

    No, initially, the authorities reported that they were stolen. Later, they changed the story, though that seems likely to just be their government's attempt at damage control over all the notice their widespread illegal organ trade received from the story.

    They need to find those people who did that and force them to work for the rest of their lives in a sweatshop or mine to fund the life of that boy

    They should put them in the underground society shown in Kaiji season 2. Except without any chance of getting out.
