This is an experimental procedure. It might work, >>> but the bad news is that brains are very expensive, and you >>> will have to pay the costs yourselves." >>> >>> "Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the relatives. >>> >>> "For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000." >>> >>> Some of the younger male relatives tried to look shocked, but >>> all the men nodded because they thought they understood. A few >>> actually smirked. But the patient's daughter was unsatisfied >>> and asked, "Why the difference in price between male brains >>> and female brains?" >>> >>> "A standard pricing practice," said the head of the team. >>> "Women's brains have to be marked down because they have >>> actually been used."
