>>Then why aren’t you upset that this family didn’t put the baby up for adoption???<<
Do you think that’s free?
Do you know what kind of money adoption agencies make?
And who said I wasn’t upset that they didn’t just put the baby up for adoption?
Selling a Baby is morally better than killing him. The baby would be DEAD. DEAD is forever.
>>Selling the baby to unknown people simply because they will give you a couple thousand dollars is no different than sending it to the slaughterhouse.<<
I’m sure that the child will agree with you one day. NOT!!!
I wouldn't be carrying on if you would make some admission that admonished the couple for their behavior. The moment you started posting it was nothing but a defense for them. Their actions are indefensible.
You know there is a difference between the costs of putting a baby up for adoption and selling the baby on eBay like some television set. Do you think we should start allowing babies to be sold on eBay? Maybe craigslist? 2 for 1 deal at Wal Mart maybe?
I don’t think anyone is saying the baby would be better off dead, just that this is not an acceptable alternative to abortion and it isn’t morally better to traffic humans than it is to kill them; either way, the human being in question becomes an object to be abused. On one level, the outcome is different and you’re right in that this way the child has more hope and a chance at life, but that doesn’t mean it’s morally better, especially when there are options that bypass any human rights violations.
Adoption is a good alternative. And if those people are that eager to buy a baby, they would have been just as eager to a listing that said, “Adopt our child, we will transfer custody to you, all we ask is that you help us with the medical bills and legal fees.”
