Human Life - InValuable (Quite Literally)



No value can be put to a human price. But just for my knowledge, I went on to find out how much would be the worth of a human body after death. Well, the results did give me a shock. I had expected the amount to be high, but not this high.....

I had thought that the total worth would be under $400K, well my estimate turned out to be very small. Smaller than the value of heart itself.

And different parts of our body are worth different amounts—while corneas are small, they fetch a large price ($22,450), whereas our skeleton garners significantly less ($7,483). The price also depends on whether the body part is sold for specimen use or transplants.

HereIn, I would again like to say that I did this research just because I was curious. Also, in many countries, it is illegal to sell organs, even after death.
