Why is skin so fuckinh cheap?

lauthals ,

It’s per cm². Looks like an average person has around 18.000cm² of skin which one could sell for 22k$ then.

Daft_ish ,

All your skin?!?

NotSpez ,

Well… selling the taint is kinda frowned upon…

satan_6661 ,

How much is a heart and brain? I got lots of those laying around.

Cruxifux ,

So basically I only need to kidnap one or two healthy people to set myself up.

WhiteHawk ,

did you straight-up just forget the most valuable organ?

robocall OP ,
@robocall@lemmy.world avatar

Which one is that?

SakuraTribeScout ,

I would assume the heart

WhiteHawk ,

Yes

Juris_LLM ,

So you’re saying that raising a child can actually be a profitable endeavor?

TheWanderer ,

Not bad. Can buy 138 iphone 14 pro maxes for a kidney. Guys I have an idea 💡

  1. Setup shop
  2. [REDATCTED]
  3. Profit ???
TheWanderer ,

I need employees now. Hiring open. Send in your resumes

Blood - 0, but you get spammed with text messages asking for more

If somebody would seriously pay 138700$ for a kidney, I still couldn’t afford to have a kid in the city I was born in.

son_named_bort ,

That’s why I donate plasma instead of blood. That’s the real money liquid.

GiveMemes ,

Fun fact about “donating” blood, at least in the US, is that the blood donation companies turn around and sell it to the hospitals to make money lmaooo.

Hildegarde ,

Same thing with being an organ donor. If you die in a car crash, they will take your heart and use it for a heart transplant. They will bill the recipient an average of $1.3 million dollers for the operation. Not only does your next of kin not get a cut, but they will bill your estate for the costs of their failed attempts to save your life.

They bill $1.3 million for your heart and they won’t even comp the ambulance ride.

Daft_ish ,

I’m sure they do this because it’s illegal to profit from the sale of organs. You wouldn’t want your SO to sign you up as an organ donor than off you to collect on that sweet organ cash.

As far as charge you for the ambulance ride… capitalism strikes again. Wouldn’t be an issue if we had single payer.

Kase ,

it’s illegal to profit from the sale of organs

Apparently not for the people who are charging transplant recipients 1.3 million for a donated heart :/

paholg ,

Is that really any different from life insurance, except with more potential to help poor people?

HubertManne ,

yeah I was looking at that almost $300 a pint and thinking I can get the steamdeck. if only.

nrezcm ,

On the brightside you’d have a nice down payment for a small starter home. Gotta take wins when you can.

Kase ,

What I wanna know is, should I be investing in organs? Are these prices going up?

bones are wildly undervalued

TroublesomeTalker ,

Nah. It’s like frozen onions being cheaper than fresh. They are just orders of magnitude cheaper to ship and store and still be in a useful state. If you get artisanal fresh, never frozen bones they are a lot more expensive.

Kase ,

But remember, whenever possible, buy locally-sourced bones; it’s better for the environment, and they’ll be fresher that way. 👍

QTpi ,

Frozen bone for transplant that I’ve seen (I work in Blood Bank) are small pieces, not entire bone. That price quote doesn’t specify per gram, per bone, or per “unit” so who knows.

marx2k ,

I feel like I do need new eyes trying to read some of that text

Kase ,

It looks like those will cost you, uh… $¥∆§%|•

“After all, why not. Why shouldn’t I sell 5 testicles?”

notatoad ,

Skin seems a little undervalued.

Pinklink ,

So total is? Asking for a dead friend

WoahWoah ,

The only thing worth nothing is your brain. Think about that, if you can.

oldGregg ,

Is that buying price or selling price?

Gotta be buying price based on blood

QTpi ,

I don’t know where they are getting that price for blood. My perfectly legal, screened, and tested Red Blood Cell units are about $455/pint, plasma $118/pint, and platelets are $1,577/pint. I don’t know if they are undervaluing because whole blood is a pain to work with.
