So a hand is worth a little more than a thousand dollars... What's a whole body worth?

My father lost multiple fingers working in the 70s? He was paid 1700ish per each accident (twice)...this is downright cruel.

Should be able to get 50% of salary in that industry, for life.
Too bad the lawyers are going to take 40% off the top.

It is an average of the highest 39 paid weeks during the last 52 weeks of employment. The minimum death benefit is equal to 50% of the state average weekly wage in the year of injury. Payments continue for a maximum of 500 weeks, and it is tax free money.
So roughly 5 years salary, at least in Michigan.

If you go by weight:
A hand is about 0.46kg
An average adult body is about 81kg
81÷0.46×1143
=> about 200.000$

Second question: I'm trying to sell my body at a steep discount, but still nobody's interested?

Step 1: be attractive

You've clearly never been propositioned by a meth head.

Maybe portion it out instead of selling the whole thing at once? You'll find someone looking for a kneecap or a left ear more often than you'll find someone wanting the entire body

Basically the same you do with an old car to get more money out of it. But also more work and you need to be a lot more patient, have more potential customers, idiots among them or people trying to beat down the price. Hard to estimate if it's worth it. On the other hand it might be easier to get rid of the rest after you sold the most important stuff, kidneys etc. Maybe people are discouraged by having to buy the whole thing, but someone could be willing to get the rest for final evisceration.

Idk, maybe you are still too expensive?

Well, I finally found a taker, but I ended up having to pay her? Thanks, Obama.

I’d pay $1500 for a butt steak.
