Question/Topic: |
Human body - worth
|
Answer/Pointer: |
How much is the human body worth? Newspaper columnists and other have claimed that the body's
chemical worth is between 98 cents and $5. But one doctor argues that, at the rates currently charged
by large chemical distribvutors, the body's worth is at least $169,834--not country $1,200 worth of blood.
The key is to market the body's products intelligently and not reduce them to basic elements like carbon
and zinc.
