What is the value of a human body?

I found this a very interesting question to answer...

First off, check out this website: http://www.humanforsale.com/ 
They'll give you an answer after you go through their survey.  I was
worth $2,205,030.00, btw :-)

I could not find a definite answer from an authoritive source on how
much the human body is worth, it depends on what you're looking at. 
Chemically, we're worth under $2.  By selling our organs, etc., we
could be worth much much more.

Thanks for the fun question and if you require more information, don't
hesitate to ask for clarification.  And if you find this answer
satisfactory, please feel free to rate it. Thank you!

Forgot to mention that I found these sites by searching Google for
"worth human body money" and "value human body worth" (without quotes)
and other similar searches.  Thanks!

Thanks.

Some bodies are "valued" higher more than others...
