I mean the body of a person....all of the elements contained inthe body, example we are 80% water right? and how much water is in each person average? i dunno, say 2 gallons. and how much is the average price for water? about 1.50? so the water in us is worth about $3? I heard that there was a scientific study that made an estimate as to how much all the minerals and whatnot in our bodies is worth according to the current prices of all of those minerals and whatever and their value in our economy. I dont know where to find out more about this but I think I heard about it ojn national public radio, so if anyone know could you please give me a link or something? thanx alot!

It would probably cost more to extract the minerals, elements etc than they would be worth.
The skeleton could probably be sold to medical students though!

I used to have a T-shirt that said "I"m worth Millions" On the back it broke down the elements in the human body and the market value of those elements. The water I think was divided into Oxygen and Hydrogen (as pure elements not combined) It also took into account thinks like Iron in the blood as well as trace elements like the small amount of Gold in the human body. I don't remember the exact amount (which would vary by person I guess) but it was MIllions.

The chemical and molecular compounds of the human body amounts to nearly nothing. The basic "elements" are the usual hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon...which combined to one another in their many variable ways...make up our entire bodies. But I can't simply stop there when we talk about the worth of a person. A person also has a "soul" and a "spirit" which indwells the soul...we are triune...in the image of God Who is also Triune: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And the soul of a person you cannot put a price-tag upon because the human soul is "priceless"...plain and simply true.

each and every human existence is helpful and that's despicable that your human being expression become met so negatively. i'm sorry that has befell to you, and that i'm hoping you hit upon others who're like-minded and would delight on your unique self. you're someone of nicely worth. imagine of your optimal imaginative and prescient of your self, then stay from that imaginative and prescient. you could imagine your self to be a touch staggering individual, so in case you could imagine it, you could stay it! do this technique for increasing self-nicely worth or shallowness. It truly does artwork.

According to the airline companies one human life is worth 2.5 million dollars to them in their mathematical equations they use in their business and safety challenges. It sounds cruel to put a dollar amount on a human life, but this is what I heard.

The price would be huge. Probably 10 digits, but we're worth everything, because God created us, yet we can adopt little babies. I'd priceless. Amazing, though, isn't it?
