Answer 1

Thats tough, but why don't you write just the opposite. Tell your teacher several reasons why the human body is priceless. Honesty, you can write more on that topic, then trying to figure out how much the human body costs. Unless you want to talk about prostitution j.k.

Answer 2

I will answer in ZAR (South African Rand ) Exchange rate R8 = 1 US dollar) for a person living to 65.

Computers (brain)  to last a life time lets say using one a year @ R 6 000 each (TOT R 390 000)

Pump (heart)  that can work constantly for 65 years  R 200 000.

Pump and air filters (lungs) using a pump every year.

@ R 5 000 per pump                                              R  325 000

Batteries  (mitochondria) to supply energy.

Using 10 per day @ R 2 each                                 R 474 500

Transport system with tubes to last a life time          R 200 000

Digesting machine                                                 R 200 000

Waste disposal bags for faeces  1 per day               R  23 725

Excretion plant (kidneys,lungs, skin)                    R 2 00000

                      

Bionic appendages   arms and legs)                     R 4 000 000

Camera with printing equipment (eyes)                 R 1 000 000

Sound system  (ears and voice)                          R    200 000

Security sensors (skin)                                      R  1 000 000

Detoxifier  (liver)                                                  R     500 000

Maintenance of equipment  for a 65 year contract R 10 mil

                

You can add up. Difficult to work in this small block. Hope it  is what you need.                                          

Answer 3

I've read somewhere that the actual value of the organs if you were to sell them on the black market would be something like $1-$2 million.

I'll see if I can find the source.

Answer 4

i dont think you can tell the cost of our human body is because, each organs and parts of our body and it's purpose of helping us to live. therefore, human body is precious and nothing can really be compare to it because it is a wonderful time machine, and it is a complex thing

if this is what you mean, hope i answered the question
