How Much is Your Body Worth?

How much do you think you are worth?

There really is no price that can be put on life itself, however, the human body and its components can be valued. In order to do this you need to think of us, or our bodies, as a commodity. You need to think of our bodies as a marketable item, something that has value and can be traded or sold.

Naturally we have a value attached to us for what we can produce, either via working or other means. If a person were to earn £25,000 a year for 30 years, it could be stated their value was £750,000, or 3/4's of a million pounds. However, when you look at the human body as a commodity such as gold, silver, and agricultural products such as coffee, sugar, wheat or rice, it puts a whole different perspective into what we are worth.
