On Sunday an advertisement was found in a street in northeastern China's Changchun city which shocked every passersby.

It read "Myself: for Lease or Sale!" The advertisement explained that its author was a healthy and honest man willing to lease or sell himself for a high price to anyone prepared to pay.

The man can be hired to do anything for five years at the cost of 350 thousand RMB; and he says he is willing to undergo any medical experiments, like exchanging his heart, brain, etc, for ten million RMB.

However, he specifies that any foreign medical institution seeking such services would have to pay him ten million US dollars.

Cheng Xiandi, a lawyer from Changchun city, says there is currently no law defining the man's action as illegal.
