"Things don't look good.  The only chance is a brain transplant." said the doctor.

He continued, "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 cost yourselves."

"Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the relatives. 

"For a male brain, $500,000.  For a female brain, $200,000." 
 

male brain $500,000

female brain $200,000

Some of the younger male relatives tried to look shocked, but all the men nodded in understanding, and a few actually smirked.

The patient's daughter 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've been used."
