Top 10 Most Valuable Body Parts
Hello, welcome back to Most Amazing top 10! I am Rebecca Felgate and CRIKEY what a topic
we have today! That's right, we're talking the Top 10 Most Valuable Body Parts.
Being an organ donor is a great thing to be, although there are black markets out there
where you can sell parts of your body for a profit….although really…why would you
!
Before we get started, I just want to point you guys to our Patreon page! We have set
up fan funding so we can keep bringing you controversial videos like this one as well
as provide you with some behind the scenes insight into our channel as well as the chance
to chat with us one on one. The link is in the description box below.
OKAY….what we got here.
Selling a pint of blood will get you around $350.
Of course in almost all countries, it is illegal to sell your blood, but this how much a pint
of blood goes for on the red market, the black market name for body part harvesting and distribution.
Blood is so important for saving lives and is frequently traded in the underground markets.
Unfortunately, as people can donate a pint of blood without feeling much in the way of
side effects, blood farming has become an issue. This is where blood is non consensually
taken from prisoners in jail and sold on the red market. Without blood donations I know
I for one would not be alive, so donating blood to medical outlets is vital, although
you won't get paid for it…the reward is saving a life… like mine :)
9 – Selling your small intestine will get you around $2,500 dollars.
The small intestine is broken up into three parts, but you need this baby intact to make
the mega bucks….although to be fair, you also kind of need it to live. The small intestine
is vital for you digestive system. The small intestine is 20 ft long and breaks down food
from the stomach, as well as absorbing nutrients from the food. The reason they fetch such
a price is because they're very important to the human body, and actually bidding for
small intestines on the red market can get much higher than the standard 25 hundred dollars.
Something you can easily and legally sell up next…. There is a relief!
8 – Selling your hair can get you 1000-4000 dollars.
There are a number of ways you can legally sell your hair. In poorer nations, a lot of
girls and boys alike do this to meet demand for western hair extension markets. However,
if you are living pretty much anywhere you can sell your hair. The website, Market Place.org
has an article about it, and they interview a woman who sold her hair for 1 thousand dollars,
although it is possible to get up to four thousand, depending on the condition of your
hair. Growing it is work in itself, though! You can't dye it, you have to take vitamin
supplements and abstain from using heat on it. It can years to get it to a length where
it is worth something.
7 Gentlemen, you get up to $5,000 for your sperm!
You can LEGALLY donate sperm and get around $1000 a month for twice monthly…err…expressions,
but selling your fluid on the black market can get you up to 5 thousand dollars. To legally
donate sperm, you have to be between 18-35 and over 5ft 10 and physically healthy. The
higher your education status, the more you can get for your seed. Also, you need to be
mentally prepared to know your donation may lead to a child. While you can choose for
them to never know you, that is still a lot to deal with. Even if I was a dude and tall
enough… this wouldn't be worth It for me!
6 – Ladies, we can get around $14,000 for our eggs
You can LEGALLY donate eggs for between 8 to 14 thousand US Dollars. Like with me, screening
processes are in place. To donate, you need to be between 21-29, have a healthy Body Mass
Index, have healthy reproductive organs and be in good health yourself. I probably would
be less likely to be selected to donate as I have asthma, which can be hereditary.
Meeep….at number 5 you can get $15,000-20,000 for your eye balls.
The most valuable part of the eye are the corneas…these alone can fetch you a pretty
good price. Although, you really couldn't pay me to give you my eyes…I need them!
I am an organ donor so of course my eyes can be put to good use when I die, but alive…I
need them to see! Of course selling eyes is strictly red market, and they go to people
who are in desperate need of cornea transplants…with the number in need greater than the number
of body parts available.
4 – selling your bone marrow can get you a whopping $23,000 PER GRAM
The reason this sells for such a price on the red market is because 70% of patients
in need of a marrow transplant do not have a matching donor in their family and
donations of the substance are low. Bone Marrow is important because it produced red and white
blood cells and platelets that are altogether important for circulating oxygen around the
body, fighting infections, and clotting blood. People with blood cancer such as leukemia
or lymphoma need new bone marrow to help them survive. Again, like most things on this list,
it is illegal to sell and trade, but that doesn't stop it happening. As it is used
to save lives, people get desperate. You can legally donate bone marrow and all medical
and non medical expensive are eligible to be covered. Bone marrow levels replete in
around six weeks.
3 – Selling a liver can get you $157,000 This is another body part that you absolutely
cannot sell if you want to stay alive. Of course, when you are dead you don't need
it, so is a good organ to donate after you die. Livers on the black market reportedly
go for around 150 to 160 thousand dollars. People who need livers tend to have liver
disease or liver cancer. Patients in need of a liver are in a dire situation and the
number of livers available is less than the number of people that need them. This leads
to desperate patients and their families scouring the black market.
You only need one kidney to survive, for the other you could get $250,000.
A quarter of a million for something you can live without….while that may be tempting
to some, Kidney surgery is a pretty intense operation, and can you imagine having an illicit
doctor do that to you? Of course you can legally donate a Kidney and receive the best healthcare
around for your trouble. People usually donate kidney's to family members or loved ones.
Selena Gomez needed a Kidney transplant over the summer of 2017 and her friend Francia
Raisa gave her the ultimate gift. As well as Lupus sufferers like Selena, people who
may need kidneys are people who suffer from diabetes, polycystic Kidneys or people who
are suffering Kidney Failure.
Finally, at number one.. We have $1 million for your heart.
Heart disease is the biggest world wide killer, and roughly 3100 people in the United States
are waiting for a heart right now, with just 2,000 transplant operations being performed
each year. Once again, the issue is finding a legally donated heart from a recently diseased
donor...when it comes to life and death, people are willing to pay. So…throughout this list,
you may have been wondering how the red market even works? Aside from awful blood farms,
organ scouts and thieves operate, visiting funeral parlours preparing for cremation to
hand out organs for sums of cash. And there are alternative methods too, which do not
bare thinking about. A black market organ is sold once every hour and they do not have
the same kind of medical safety standards legal medical outlets do.
If you sold every your body, chemicals, skin, hair, teeth and all, you could make up to
$45 million dollars, which is how much a human body is worth! So, if it can make you so much
money and it is your body – why is it illegal to sell parts? Well because if it were legal,
the poor would be at risk of exploitation .
