Do you think sperm donation is the same as child trafficking?
Perhaps, perhaps not. It's complicated law. I do know that if a child is to be transferred in custody it should have a guardian ad litem for every step of that process. Or perhaps you believe that any old adult who birthed a child is legally qualified to oversee its interest every step of the way...like no woman strapped for cash would ever consider selling her infant to creepy customers when she already has six of her own..? Just let the "booming industry" self-regulate will you?...The New York Times...not me.. labelled what's going on in California "an industry"...
I disagree. I think two adult men conspiring to deprive a child of a mother is creepy. And any woman agreeing to place a child in that detrimental situation is equally guilty of being creepy. Money is changing hands during all this and therefore, a child is being trafficked.The customers aren't creepy. The woman having the baby is. Lots of couples can't have children. Many go overseas to adopt. That's how desperate they are.
Most people agree that if a child is sold into a situation where s/he can be predicted to suffer in any measureable way (a motherless child is a tragedy. A fatherless child is a tragedy), then the transaction is the definition of child-trafficking.
