Reply to comment by DennisHakkie in British museums to stop using ‘mummy’ over negative associations by Logibenq

A human body has an average price of $550,000 according to Medical Transcript. Of course, if you could max out your prices and sell every part of you for its individual street value, you’d walk away with 45 million dollars.

So, they’re not wrong. Human remains are extremely valuable.

This is a change that was made like 2-3 years ago because the majority of people said they weren’t part of a religion anymore. I was talking about the theological meaning of “no value” aka. You died, your soul is gone, your body has no emotional or physical value anymore :-)

That’s the only reason, not because of monetary reasons and you don’t want to know how many people break that law live on TV
