How Much Would Your Body Cost if You Had to Buy it One Piece at a Time? (Vanity)
N/A ^ | 26 May, 2015 | N/A

Posted on 05/26/2015 7:24:54 PM PDT by amorphous

I received the bill for a single porcelain crown today. It was almost $900. That got me to thinking, what would it cost if you had to pay for all of your body parts one piece at a time?

At today's prices, probably way more than a lot of us are worth. God sure was good to us. He gave most of us all the body parts we needed for free. Of course good ol' mom and dad helped!

Just something to be thankful for and a break from thinking about all the trouble in the world today.

“1. Intestine Transplant Cost: $1,121,800 “

Seriously? When did this happen? Last I knew it was far from ready to rock. then again It’s been a while since I looked.

Depends on what you can afford. For example, I heard liberal brains are especially expensive because they’re so rarely used. ;-)

LOL, everyone knows that the total car always costs less than the sum of the parts!

For my part, I don’t mind a bit paying for that $900 crown. I actually have a boatload of them in my mouth, and they were worth every, single, little penny I paid for them!

I think I pretty much feel the same way about nearly every other part of my body, though I will say, I prefer the OEM versions better than anything I can get externally!

From my experience, a piece of ass is ALWAYS more than you can afford.

Seems expensive. Not sure if that price was by the foot or for the full length.

I am amazes it worls at all. I hace Chron’s Disease so I used to keep up on the intestinal Xplant stuff. But after a while, the best they ciuld do was get pig intestines for a short time before they either stopped working at all or the body rejected them.

The heart, obviously important as it is, is basically a one job pump. The intestines have to extract different things at different places in a semicoordinated manner and it’s VERY complex.

Sheesh! 37 posts and not a single straight forward answer!

It would cost $3.64.
