8. The human body’s raw elements are worth $160
The Cost of a Person
It can be difficult to think of a human being as having a price tag. But there are some ways to consider our price… 1
 THE COST OF A PERSON (<1 min)
‘As we’ve found, it can be difficult to think of a human being as having a price tag. But there are some ways to consider the price of a human being…’
You could consider the physical worth of a human being’s materials. DataGenetics considered each element that is in our bodies; for example oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and so on. It was then considered how much people would pay for each element. It was concluded that the human body’s raw elements are worth just over $160.
You could decide the value of a person by the work that they are fit to do.
Or you might assign a price to him that you think someone else will pay…
The human body’s raw elements are worth $160
You could consider their value by what they can do... 2
Or you might give them a price you think somebody would pay… 3

9. The End of Slavery?
In the 17th and 18th centuries, millions of people were bought and sold in the transatlantic slave trade. Millions of people were given a price.
Today, a slave from the 18th century would be worth $12,000.
Today, modern-day slavery still exists. It’s called human-trafficking.
SLAVERY AND ANTI-SLAVERY DAY (2 mins)
Does it surprise you people might consider price of a human being? It might seem inconceivable but historically, some humans were given a price; in the 17th and 18th centuries, millions of people were bought and sold in the transatlantic slave trade.
The value of a slave in 1850 was $400. Today, that slave would be worth $12,000 - $176,000.
Just over 200 years ago, slavery was made illegal. People like William Wilberforce spoke in Parliament, condemning the practice; a law to abolish slavery was passed in 1807.
But modern-day slavery, called human trafficking, still exists 207 years since slavery’s abolition.
(N.B. If Anti-Slavery Day only): That’s why 18th October has been named Anti-Slavery Day, to make people aware that there are still victims of the modern-day slave trade and they live here, with us, in this country today.
(Facilitator’s notes: The historical price of slavery source is MeasuringWorth.)
$12,000

(N.B. If Anti-Slavery Day…) Throughout today, you might have workshops on human trafficking, healthy relationships and online safety. You might have a session of trafficking in the cotton industry. But human trafficking can happen to anyone, in any country.
For Help and Advice:
We have already looked at a story of human trafficking, which showed a young person tricked and pressured into things they didn’t want to do.
If you ever feel you are in a situation where someone is tricking you or forcing you to do things there are helpline numbers you can call.
If you are in an emergency always call the police. Outline other support options.
Stress that students will not get in trouble for calling the numbers and they are there to help them if they are in danger.
Sometimes things don’t always happen to us but our friends.
If you or someone else is scared, in danger or feels threatened: call the police.
