The value of organs on the black market varies according to the type of organ and the global demand for it. Typically, kidneys have the highest demand, with average prices ranging from $160,000 to $200,000. Other organs such as the liver and heart can fetch even higher prices, often exceeding $500,000. Because of the illegal nature of the organ trade, prices can be influenced by supply and demand factors and can even be impacted by geographical location or advances in medical technology. However, the exploitation and trafficking of organs on the black market are unethical and often involve criminal activities that put donors at risk.
