Selling babies (for profit)

Postby Lindvaettr » Tue Dec 12, 2017 2:01 am

I just wanted to test the waters here. Everyone has an opinion on selling babies for adoption, but how do you feel about selling babies for profit? They could be your babies, or your sister's babies, or anyone's babies for that matter. If you had a supply of babies, would you sell them to pay for a new home, new car, or new bobsled?

I say yes.

I have a serious ethical concern here. When you say you're open to selling "anyone's" babies, surely you don't mean you would ever traffic in stolen babies? The baby economy is based on property rights; if anybody can just sell your babies out from under you the whole system breaks down. Any responsible businessman would only sell babies he had manufactured or purchased legally.

I said in the other one I don't want to read about baby mills but baby flipping? That just creates a hilarious image in my head. Flip that baby, baby! I wonder if there would be a show on lifetime or a&e or whatever.There would have to be a blue book for infants.

"I got this top quality baby for cheap and it's valued at twice the price!"

All joking aside, the reality is not that far off. In that designer babies will be a thing but only for those able to afford it. So, in a sense 'for profit baby production' could be inevitable without strict oversight.

I like the idea of baby flipping. You can take someone's ignored, abandoned, or otherwise damaged baby, especially if it's been repossessed by the hospital for failure to make payments (only applies to the US). These babies are usually in good condition, and only require aesthetic work, like a haircut or new coat of paint. Once the baby is given a fashionable new modern look, you take it to an auction house like Sotheby's and sell it to the highest bidder. I suspect this method could earn you a lot of money quickly, as long as you hire reasonably priced baby repair contractors to do the initial remodeling.

There are also several countries around the world in dire need of child soldiers. While the remodel method wouldn't work as well here, if a prospective baby dealer could find a way to buy babies wholesale in bulk, they could make a tidy profit supplying future soldier to warlords. This method is slightly more morally dubious, but those who take part in the International Baby Exchange Market need to be willing to set their morality aside for the good of the economy.

Creates market for racial babies... Because something something Capitalism leads to Racism and the demand for White and Asian is high, and A reliable market for Black and Arab babies is maintained in regions closer to the equator. "Cash Libel" Rumors start in Israel that the Christians have been flipping the market-rare Jewish babies and purchasing the futures, at the urging and direction of the Vatican. In the meantime, the taboo around "cuckoldry" seems to have declined due to market forces.

This is before the Blue Lively Institute -- a think tank that is in no way associated with KrashliaCorp., A subsidiary of LoveMachine Intl. -- creates the concept of "Peak Mulatto", which passes into Economic Research in a select few universities.

The Blue Flow Law Firm -- totally unrelated to Blue Lively Institute -- has lobbied for "Long-term Macro Reproductive Differentiation" laws, which passes due to fears of market failure as has occured in Brazil, the ur example of such failures related to the baby market.

We're- er, they're still trying to figure out how to disrupt "baby equitablility systems" and "nationalization of natalization schemes" that have arisen is a few countries. You don't want to become Brazil do you? Exactly. Also, would you like an invitation to invest in the development of TestesLock and ViceGripper Technology being developed by LoveMachine Intl. and sold by KrashliaCorp.?

But will you vaccinate your assets? Preventable diseases may result in additional upkeep costs and loss of profitability, and in some cases even a total loss on the transaction. But on the other hand Autism may drastically reduce their marketability and you could end up saddled with a truckload of unsaleable product.

b-but Autism causing Vaccines might ruin shares of the J- I mean, the Asian baby market. I say, nothing is going to happen, and vaccines are, in fact, totally uneccesary. Blue Lively Institute said so in its recent research paper that totally wasn't funded at all by KrashliaCorp.!

You're all looking at this the wrong way. If the baby is vaccinated and is fine, you market the baby as a Disease Resistant All-Purpose Baby. If the baby gets autism from the evil vaccines, you market it as a Disease Resistant Single-Purpose Baby. Simply train your DRSPB to paint, write music, or become a selfish, childish, yet extremely adept and dangerous operative. Sure, you can't ask him to vacuum the carpet, clean the laundry, or grill a cheese, but placed within your spy agency, drug organization, or private investigation company, and he'll surely bring you the degrees of mild-to-moderate success you've always dreamed of.

Have I got a deal for you. I just had a box of babies that just fell off the back of a truck and they are going cheap cheap cheap. I'll start the bidding at enough prewrapped Christmas gifts that I don't have to do any shopping this month. I warn you, there is a no returns policy. Turns out that process is very painful for the manufacturer.

For sale: baby shoes. Never worn. Turns out prude people don't want to wear clothes made out of babies. Snowflakes.
