Baby-for-sale racket



“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.
