To be honest, cerb kinda said everything i would have...

Tauracis, its good that you're a feminist and all, but I kinda think you take it too far, papi was joking (I'm guessing)... you get obscenely sexist/racist/etc jokes on forums all the time, get used to it. :P

Problem solved.

Good idea

Let's say this guy is a slave trader, or some child porn ring leader. Would you really want to sell your baby to him? The fact that you view human life as worthless speaks volumes about your maturity.

Lesbian Eskimos?

You can't remove your guilt with money. Anyone with a conscience would not sell their own child for money.

You can buy and sell the body, but you can't buy or sell the soul.

Please go die. Thank you.

Most mature teenage males don't give a damn either. I wasn't worried about how to eventually raise my kids when I was 13. For the record, I'm turning 20 soon and I still don't give a damn, not because I am immature, but rather because my goal in life is not "to have children".

Does "RATIONALITY" ring a bell in your head? You're talking about morality, and for the sake of god if you cannot distinguish both, stop thinking and stop worrying about anything beyond your kitchen and children. About the slave trader, the OP does not say anything about such thing, and he probably wouldn't offer 3 trillion $ to rape/torture/kill your baby, or at least he wouldn't tell you about it.

My answer stands as "No, a human life can't be bought or sold."

I agree.

Or better yet, everyone that has answered yes is a kid/person that hasn't had any children of their own. There is no amount of money I would take for my child. Human life means way more than that. Or at least it is supposed to be. I fell in love with my child the second I found out my wife was pregnant. No, Never, not gonna happen.

Solange · Mar 03, 2008, 07:39 PM // 19:39

YEs i would do it WITHOUT A HESITATION

why? because its 3 TRILLION DOLLARS and the fact that this new child born you don't even know yet....because it was just born i haven't grown attached to it

It might be related to you more because its YOUR baby but every other human being is related to you in some form, we're all the same...some just look and share more of the same dna

3 trillion dollars you could do good things with or bad things...

YES I WOULD DO IT

QFT.

Anyone seeing a connection here...the ppl that DO have kids say so way, while those that don't and therefore don't understand what a life changing thing it is say hell yes. Hmmmmmm....

If you don't have one, maybe you just can't understand honestly loving someone so much that NO amount of money could ever be worth more than that tiny life.

This is OT & A, but for some ppl this is obviously an emotional issue.

Yet there have been millions of babies given away for free in a process we call adoption.

Hmmmm...

Very true. You said it best "for free". But this thread isn't about adoption. Where a person gives up thier child because they would have a better life with the new family. One that the biologic parent couldn't provide. There is nothing insidious behind that. But just selling a baby for money. That is nothing like adoption. It may be hard for some to understand, but it is the "spirit" behind the action is what makes it one way or the other on the moral compass. There has to be lines in the sand somewhere.

I do believe this. And it may not be this way in every case. But most people here, when they do have children, opinions will change.

I completely agree.

And yes there does seem to be a trend among the people with no children and the younger posters etc, although i would not have considered it even when i didnt have a daughter, But thats bacause i am a nice guy

And now we're talking with reason and logic, and not just with "you feel this way so obviously you don't understand it at all and shouldn't talk about it" types of statements. Thanks. That's what I wanted to draw out of people.

Eldin · Mar 03, 2008, 08:25 PM // 20:25

Now I honestly do not wish to touch too deeply on this subject as it is a question of morality, but instead I will contribute with a silly fun filled forum-friendly response.

If it's a girl, yes. Maybe only if I can sell her at the age when she's too young to know and hold a grudge against me.

UNLESS you're selling the baby to some evil scientific research facility, then no. A human life is too valuable for THAT.

I wish you good luck in NOT making everyone throw up from your sweeping generalizations. And chill out, this thread is just meant for some interesting discussion. And no, I would not sell my child.

MMSDome · Mar 03, 2008, 08:48 PM // 20:48

Definetly not, dumb question OP.

RPGmaniac · Mar 03, 2008, 08:54 PM // 20:54

One detail that I kind of wish was added in the question is whether the person buying the baby is going to take care of him/her and give him/her a good life. That would promote some better discussion IMO.

Yeah. Because you can't buy or sell something that doesn't exist.

If it doesn't exist, what makes everyone's personalities unique? Why is it that you will never find two people who are perfectly identical, mentally and physically? We're not just bunches of organic matter, there's something more to us. Without a soul, we would just be shells. Empty shells.

Almost 20 isn't yet mature. Especially not for the male gender. There isn't much teenage males care about... except for themselves.

Would you feel comfortable knowing that you had given your own child into slavery, or death? You have absolutely no morality. I don't care if you think you're the most rational person in the world, you're still a woman-hating, child hating monster.

Because they're obviously more mature, and know the value of a human life.
