Teenager sells her body on social media for £40,000 to save her mum with cancer
A teenager has taken to social media to sell her body in a bid to raise money for her sick parent's £40,000 treatment, it has been reported.
The advert reportedly described the offer as a chance for the winning bidder to "use her body at will".
Cao Mengyuan, 19, is said to be trying to helper mother Wu Zhaofang in Gaozhou People's Hospital, China, after she was diagnosed with skin cancer and was now battling an infection.
The cost of the treatment was about 350,000 Yuan, the Daily Mail reports.
"I wish that a kind-hearted person could buy me, so my mother can undergo the operation," she reportedly wrote in the advert.
"After the transaction, I am willing to work at the will of the buyer in return.
"I will do whatever the buyer asked me to do. I never go back on my word."
But the advert had been met with a mixed response from social media users who felt the offer should not be encouraged, despite the motivation behind it.
The website reported that a "generous boss" had got in touch to cover the bills.
However, it was not disclosed if the man was donating the money or had accepted the offer.
