“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 the baby-for-sale racket, money can indeed buy
happiness. And after all, why not?” (NST. March 3, 2013)
In my
opinion, it is not acceptable to buy a baby or children from black
market just because you're desperate to have one even when you have
more than enough one to do so. By doing so, it reflect that you agree
with human trafficking. This involves conscience, human trafficking
involve life of others and it is not right to trade people for money.
Therefore saying, it makes you a heartless person because you agree
with illegal human trade.
The
price of a black market baby varies based on such factors as the
ethnicity of the baby, and also whether the baby comes with proof of
ownership or registration papers. As a rule of thumb, an Asian baby
will cost about 60% of a normal baby, and a black baby will cost
about 10% of a normal baby. A Russian baby can pass for a white baby
in many cases, but a scrupulous baby-seller will not attempt this
type of "bait-and-switch". If the baby is damage, they can
actually have zero or even negative value. Often the value of a baby
can vary by state. For example, a Mexican baby is much more valuable
on the border states, where its cavities can be filled with
contraband and muled over the border.
How
can a human being put a price on a baby, addition to that, the price
is based on its race. This is so spiteful, every baby born is a gift
from god. Not a subject which you can toy around as of it is nothing.
Instead
of adopting a child from black market, use the money to adopt a child
in legal way. Money can sure fasten up the process. It is difficult
compared to buying from black market. But the government only want to
ensure the child will be in a safe hand and will be raised perfectly.
