THE COST OF ONE HUMAN BEING
How much does a human cost? I tried
to calculate the price using common
materials that anyone can buy and
included most of the elements in the
human body. If we assume that the
person weighs around 60 kg (132 lbs),
the body’s worth roughly ¥13,000.
I guess it’s up to each person to decide
how much tax goes on top of that...
