Quote from: ianfleming on March 08, 2012, 06:45 pmpeople, you should not be allowed to sell people.A human possesses his own body, so he could in effect sell himself. Indentured servitude was extremely common back in the 1600's and 1700's - people would "sell themselves" over to a landowner in the New World, who would pay for their passage and provide them living accommodations in exchange for 3-5 years of full time labor. Sure we could argue semantics and say that a prostitute is selling services just as an indentured servant is selling labor (service). Can you really ever pass ownership of yourself over to someone, though? besides, what about my Russian mail-order bride!? Have you seen those pics on the interblags? They are as legit as legit gets.
