Yeah, but who is the price going to, and who has ownership? Normal economics is supply and demand between the rightful owner or producer, and the purchaser. Here, the constriction of supply will motivate the purchaser to pay a premium, but it may not be a free-market exchange. That doesn't mean that economics doesn't apply to profiteering and the black markets, but some transactions are societally bad, and a disguised form of theft.
If it could be demonstrated that the fees went back into care for all of the children, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. I wonder where the money goes.
That's a good question, since it does not seem plausible to be that it costs $31,000 in expenses even when considering the supply issue. Are these centers making a profit?
