What are the most expensive human organs sold on the black market?
People in need of organ transplants may resort to the black market if they can’t find a donor, but the cost is high 🤐💔🙆♂️
Exploring the High Cost of Human Organs in the Black Market.
Imagine a scary auction where they sell parts from a newly dead body. Livers, which clean out harmful — substances, are sold for $157,000. Kidneys, which remove waste from our body, go for $200,000. A pair of lungs, which help us breathe and get rid of most of the fat and calories we lose, are — priced at $272,000. The intestines, which are tricky to replace and help absorb food, are worth a whopping $800,000.
The final item is the heart, priced at $1.6 million. It’s the most common reason people die worldwide. Unhealthy — lifestyles and junk food increase heart disease rates, even though medicine is getting better. Heart transplants — are hard and there’s a high chance the body might reject the new heart, but its importance is undeniable.
Behind the scenes, there’s a dark truth. Some people are forced to give up their organs, allowing middlemen to charge varying prices. Every day, 17 people die waiting for organs, and only 3 in 1,000 people can donate after they die….. One in 10 transplants already use organs gotten illegally, feeding a billion-dollar black market. Legally, the prices can go sky-high…..
