Ever wonder what your Kidneys are worth on the Black Market? Now you know
Ever been SO desperate for cash that you've thought about selling a kidney on the black market? This might make you want to. Even though you REALLY SHOULDN'T.
--A website compiled info from FBI and other government reports on how much different body parts have sold for on the black market. And the going rate for a kidney in the U.S. is $262,000. Here's more on what your body is worth . . .
--Kidney, $262,000 in the U.S., $62,000 in China, $15,000 in India.
--Liver, $157,000.
--Heart, $119,000.
--Small intestine, $2,519.
--Pair of eyeballs, $1,525.
--Coronary artery, $1,525.
--Gallbladder, $1,219.
--Skull with teeth, $1,200.
--Scalp, $607.
--Spleen, $508.
--Stomach, $508.
--Hand and forearm, $385.
--Pint of blood, $337 in the U.S., just $25 in India.
--Skin, $10 per square inch.
--That means, when you die, your body could be harvested for $810,381, not counting your blood or skin, which varies by size. But your skin could get you another $30,000 or so, and your blood could add on around $3,370.
--And here's WHY there's a black market. In the U.S., there are about 113,100 people currently waiting for an organ transplant . . . and there were 14,144 organs donated in 2011. Eighteen people die every day waiting for a transplant.
--We don't exactly know how you'd go about selling your organs on the black market . . . and even though the money's good, we wouldn't recommend finding out. It's an ENORMOUS RISK in so many ways.

Meet Barbies New BFF
Mattel, the maker of Barbie, will produce a bald fashion doll for children who have lost their hair because of illness or cancer, the company announced today.
“These dolls, which will be a friend of Barbie, will be distributed exclusively to children’s hospitals and other hospitals treating children with cancer throughout the U.S. and Canada, directly reaching girls who are most affected by hair loss,” said Mattel Company spokesman Alan Hilowitz in a statement.
The announcement comes after a Facebook movement urging Mattel to produce a bald version of its famously blonde Barbie doll earlier this year. To date, the page has had more than 150,000 “likes.”
The bald doll would include “hats, scarves and other fashion accessories to provide girls with a traditional fashion play experience. For those girls who choose, the wigs and head coverings can be interchanged or completely removed.”
The doll “would be distributed exclusively to children’s hospitals and other hospitals treating children with cancer throughout the U.S. and Canada,” according to Mattel.

Madonna & Madonna & Madonna & Madonna & Madonna learn to be Madonna
Madonna has hired a group of decoy clones to confuse photographers on her 'MDNA' tour, according to reports.
With the Queen of Pop about to embark on her 'MDNA' tour, the National Enquirer reports that she's so determined not to be hounded by the paparazzi that she's hired five look-alikes to take the attention away from her.
A source close to the singer claimed that she would give the five lucky women a crash-course in how to walk and talk like her, so she can deploy them as "diversions" and enjoy some time for herself undisturbed by the press.
"It was her own idea – and she conceived it both for protection and to stay private while enjoying down time," said the insider. "Five ladies will be made up to look like dead ringers, and Madonna's personally giving them lessons right now on how to walk, talk and act like her.
"On the tour, her 'clone quintet' will be sent out ahead of her to act as diversions when she exits hotels, restaurants, concert halls, or any public venue," they added. "It's a brilliant decoy plan, and she's betting it will work!"
