      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.

      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$

          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.
