How much is your body actually worth?

You're worth more than you think!

A great number of people have spent a great deal of human and financial resources calculating the composition of, prior to the decomposition of, and the worth, or worthlessness of, the human body.

When we total the monetary value of the elements in our bodies and the value of the average person's skin, we arrive at a net worth of $4.50!

This value is, however, subject to change, due to stock market fluctuations. Since the studies leading to this conclusion were conducted by the U.S. and by Japan respectively, it might be wise to consult the New York Stock Exchange and the Nikkei Index before deciding when to sell!

...Our most valuable asset is our skin, which the Japanese invested their time and money in measuring. ... the average person is the proud owner of fourteen to eighteen square feet of skin, with the variables in this figure being height, weight, and breast size. Basing the skin's value on the selling price of cowhide, which is approximately $.25 per square foot, the value of an average person's skin is about $3.50.

While I haven't tried it, yet


You can get $200 - $300 a month for your plasma. Sounds like your plasma is worth much more that your skin to me.

Are you saying he gets $75 per plasma donation twice a week? Or, are you saying he gets $75/week for 2 donations? that's $600/month or $300/month respectively - either way, a decent check for "donating" plasma.
