How Much Are You Worth?
I mean, on a piece by piece basis.
Have you ever wondered just how much you’re worth? And, I don’t mean that old thing about how much the various chemicals that make up a human body are worth, but how much are we worth, as assembled? You know, on the basis of our individual parts. I’ve often joked about paying off debt by selling a kidney, but, sometimes, I honestly wonder just how much I would get if I could actually do that.
Well, now there’s a handy reference chart to tell you just how much your body parts are worth. No joke.
The chart is priced in UK Pounds Sterling, so you’ll need to convert it, but, still, it’s pretty fascinating.
Incidentally, this is theory only, since you can’t actually, legally, sell body parts, as far as I know. And, I would assume there are variations in price based on the quality of the part. Also, since I’m a cancer survivor, I actually can’t even give away my parts. No one would want them any more. How sad for me! There goes my “get out of debt” plan!
Anyway, it’s a fun, if somewhat ghoulish, way to spend a little slack time on a Friday, so enjoy!
