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.

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

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.

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.

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

I highly doubt that my liver is still worth 137k

bones are wildly undervalued

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.

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

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.

Is that buying price or selling price?

Gotta be buying price based on blood

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.

So total is? Asking for a dead friend

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They just did an eye transplant, so if that works out then the value will increase. Better stock up now!

Does someone have a total?

Might be a good way to get better safety standards. "My merchandise is at risk."

$574,100 before skin and blood are counted.

Kinda makes me wanna take up people-farmin'.
