WONDER OF WONDERS Non-replicable Masterpiece LOOKING at the human body from a purely physical point of view, one finds that it is just made up of water, carbon, oxygen and some other chemical elements. 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium and Phosphorus. One can even work out the price of material constituents of the human body. According to calculations performed by DataGenetics, the market value of all the elements of a human body is about $160.00, about `12,000 today. Yet out of 12,000 rupees worth of matter, God has created a human being so wonderful that no price can be set upon him. No amount of money can buy the priceless masterpiece that God has fashioned within the human frame. One can appreciate the pricelessness of the human body when some part of it is lost. If one loses a hand, for instance, millions of dollars will not buy a new one like it. If one loses one’s sight, all the wealth in the world will not win it back. If one’s power of speech fails, there will be no tongue in the shops of the world which will put one’s thoughts into words.
