baby-for-sale racket ..

"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 a baby-for-sale racket, money can indeed buy happiness.And after all, why not? (NST, 7 FEB 2010)

      Baby is a gift from God to the married couple. But, not all married couple would have this golden opportunity in term to have baby although they have through so many ways. Based on the statement above, I would like to share my point of view about the baby-for-sale racket. I do agree that baby is not for sale especially on the black market. But, sometimes, this activity can be the chances for the baby to have a better life. Lets us think together, what happen if the baby was thrown into the rubbish instead of being sold to the married couple? The baby might be eaten by the dog astray or others wild animal.

      If the baby are been sold to the married couple, the baby’s life will be more secure. This is because, the baby are with the right person. The people that buy the baby are type of people that need baby in their life and for sure, people who adopt or buy the baby are almost always love children.  So, they will protect and preserve the baby carefully and will love the baby likes their own child.

      Besides, the baby also will grow up well. The baby will get the perfect education and living in the good situation. Let’s take this for example. The baby’s family might sell their children for a several reasons, such as they are on the edge of poverty. So, they don’t have enough money to raise their children well.

      The others my point of view about this situation is selling baby can avoid child abuse. What I mean here is, sometimes, not all parents want to have any obligations especially the young age marriage. So the chances for them to not to care the baby wisely are high. They might flagellate and throw the baby away.

“Babies are soft. Anyone looking at them can see the tender, fragile skin and know it for the rose-leaf softness that invites a finger's touch. But when you live with them and love them, you feel the softness going inward, the round-cheeked flesh wobbly as custard, the boneless splay of the tiny hands. Their joints are melted rubber, and even when you kiss them hard, in the passion of loving their existence, your lips sink down and seem never to find bone. Holding them against you, they melt and mold, as though they might at any moment flow back into your body - Diana Gabaldon
