About $45 million apparently. How much is the human body worth?
How much is a human body worth? When broken down into fluids, tissues and germ fighting our bodies are worth more than $45 million.
This price tag on the human body is based on a survey published in Wired magazine. It found that vital organs are no longer the most valuable body parts. Rather, bone marrow heads the list…priced at $23 million, based on 1,000 grams at $23,000 per gram.
DNA can fetch $9.7 million, while extracting antibodies can bring $7.3 million. A lung is worth $116,400, a kidney $91,400 and a heart $57,000.
Women’s eggs are costlier than men's sperm. The survey found that a fertile woman could sell 32 egg cells over eight years for $224,000; however, for a man to earn the same amount, he would have to make 12 sperm donations a month for 20 years.
The prices are based on cost estimates taken from hospitals and insurance companies, and are based on projected prices only in the United States. Of course, the prices also assume that all these substances can be extracted from living tissue for sale.
Although this break down is illegal, unethical and also impossible, you should not feel like a million dollars anymore. You can feel like $45 million, instead!

If you are talking about the human body, there are varying answers. The human organs, although illegal to sell in the United States would bring as much as a million dollars if all were in good order. However, if you consider the value of the minerals and elements of the body, once properly processed, they would be worth only a few dollars.

Given that today is the 4th of July in the US - life is worth dying for. About 3000 ladies and gentlemen in Iraq/Afganistan have paid for it this year.
We are worth everything and nothing it seems.

Not much, but atleast I am not in debt. I think I heard some place all the chemicals in your body are worth like $10 though. Maybe someone would pay for one of my kidneys.

I am priceless, I am a child of God, a wife, a mother of four and a Nana of four, I am a friend to many with the luck of having five special friends for over twenty years each. I am a caring, loving, honest person with morals. I AM PRICELESS!
