What Are You Really Worth
What are You really Worth?
Depending where you land in an array of variables - height, weight, lifestyle-characteristics, and the daily swing in the commodities markets - you are probably worth somewhere from $4.50 to $45,000,000.
... yes ... that's right - from FOUR dollars and 50 cents up to a whopping
!!!Forty-five MILLION dollars!!!
If you were broken down to tissues and bodily fluids, extracted anit-bodies, and harvested vital organs you might just be a walking multi-millionaire!You are probably wondering about selling that extra kidney ... well, hang on! those oh so vital organs only run around 50-150 thousand dollars apiece, so you'd have to give 'em all up to just start knocking on the seven digits door.
The real money appears to be in bone marrow. Something you can even spare a little of a litle at a time. Plus it is a renewable resource for most people. Bone marrow runs about $23,000/gram. That's right, a gram! There's 28 of those little bitty grams in just one ounce. You could get a healthy start on making the Forbes list if you gave it all up at once, well maybe not so healthy for you but for your benificiaries ... a typical adult has around 1000 grams of bone marrow. Other high return items are extracted anti-bodies and your DNA.
Of course there are many ethical and legal issues that prevent you from cashing in!
More realistically, drained, dried, and separated into your body's base components, your bits and pieces total about four dollars and fifty cents ... so possibly you can trade yourself in for a latte! A better path might be to help save a body.
Sure, sure, do what you can to save your own hide, but you can also help save someone else's body and while you are at it, save their life too! Donate a pint blood every once in a while to your local blood bank. Trust me, most of us reasonably heathly folks can spare a pint, and it grows back a lot faster than a kidney. Yeah, I know ... the needles freak me out too! But it only takes a little stick, a few minutes to drip, and before you know it you're setting up drinking juice and the sweet technicians are telling you how brave and wonderful you are!!!
