Your Body is worth $50m dollars

    Saw a doc recently, now unfortunately the person that came up with this figure happens to be Donald Trump.

    The Doc I was watching I think was called "What's America's Worth"
    Trump attempts to calculate everything in America from road infrastructure to the human body.

    He estimated that the human body is worth approximately $50m dollars
    He broke this down into selling parts on the blackmarket. I cannot find all the info but here is a few examples :

    Human Heart = $60,000
    Corneas = $20,000
    DNA = $2,000,000
    Both Lungs = $120,000
    Right down to selling the hair, which Donald should probably purchase

    and so on, anyway the figure he came up with was $50m
    So my question here is basically 2 fold.


    1) =- How can I cash in on this somehow ?
    2) =- How much do you think the human penis is worth ?
    3) = - While we're at it how much are breasts and the vadge worth ?


    For those who are interested Trump estimated America is worth 1.4 Quadtrillion dollars.

    Can't find any decent links to share I'm afraid, here is a crap one ~:

    Stiffler2 He estimated that the human body is worth approximately $50m dollars

    The human body alive is priceless and cannot be weighed against paper or gold.

    If the body is just deceased then obviously it will be weighed in paper unfortunately.

    I find this difficult to believe, considering you can easily get your entire genome from nearly any cell in your body.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    It depends on the crime your DNA gets you caught for. DNA a traitorous thing.

    tell it to Trump, I'm just the messenger !
    I agree that the body is priceless but if I could get 50m for it I'll sell it instantly.

    And yet if I went out on the streets selling my arse I doubt I'd get more than 20 a pop. What a ****ing swindle.

    I'm more into long term investment-- a few surrogate pregnancies, making some wigs, sell a few pints of blood...

    Donald Trump was pished on cans sitting in a field when this was said, a few moments later he fell backwards while sitting down on the grass, so after looking at his claims and the evidence provided it is my opinion that he was boolubas at the time and hugely exaggerated those claims. wha, I dunno either.

    LOL at those values, the organs are probably sorta right, but only if there is a tissue match.

    They are all based on a supply / demand market where there is no supply

    DNA = $2,000,000 , Full genome sequencing can be done for $1,000 on a machine costing $150,000 ,

    give students/winos a few dollars each and for 2 million you could sequence and patent a lot of DNA

    I don't know, though most people think that Enda isn't worth as much as he's being paid.

    It's worth roughly €1 million

    because that's what the HSA / RSA spend to prevent a prevent a death

    we could save more lives if we had more money - if anyone asks about the morality of those who have evaded tax / recklessly traded with other peoples money ...
