QI - How Much Money is the Human Body Worth?

How about the fat? That's gotta be worth the same as a big bucket of Crisco, right?

I love the sign off of everyone being priceless.

This seems odd in a way. One of them brought it up during the broadcast. I wonder why we don't sell the body parts instead of hand them over. Granted, that would make them even more costly in the end, but value is usually determined by a buyer and a seller, in this case, everything is donated (that I am aware). It seems like this is just a price for buyers as the "sellers" didn't pay any cost for it, which isn't exactly right, because they did have to have to skill to extract it...but they didn't "buy" it from the original owner...interesting.

The cost of the organ is about 5% of the total care anyway.

Interesting point. Does that mean if you actually payed the families of those who donated, the cost of the complete medical transaction would be marginally higher? If so, cut me up and serve me to the nearest person in need, my family could use the cash!
