“If money were the only criterion by
which a child’s welfare can be gauged, then a baby bought for as much as RM40,
000 on the black market would seem set for life. For money- rich but child-poor
couples, it is a small price to pay to introduce a small life into their home.
The cot is gilded, the blanket monogrammed, the college fund filled to the
brim. All that’s wanting is a bun in the oven. And where there is a
baby-for-sale racket, money can indeed buy happiness. And after all, why not?”
My view for this statement is I do support the decision that made by poor
couple by sold their child to rich couple that willing to buy that child. The
baby was bought for as much as Rm40, 000. According to the statement, the poor
couple was not able to support their child’s life even their own life also was
not stable. In other words, when they sold the child, the child will get better
life with the money rich couple. The child will get better education and not
impossible the child’s life will be more comfortable. The burden for poor
family also will be lighter. In the nut shell about my view about this
statement, I may conclude that, what the poor couple had done which is by sold
their child it is does not mean they are cruel parents. But, they believed they
will do anything in the way to make sure their children will get better life
and guarantee life with the new rich family after this.
