Uh, since you choose to politicize this wouldn't China and it's lack of restrictive regulations on things like pollution, industrial safety, selling one's body parts fit more comfortably in the conservatives' alleged desire for less government?

In the US it's called "fees". Once you pay all the "fees" you get the "goods" (the child) and a "receipt" (adoption papers) for services rendered.

So...if you give away an organ it is good and everything.

If you profit from it you are an idiot.

Why exactly?

China is the Republican's ideal of the ONE BIG COMPANY owning and operating everything as a MONOPOLY.

In my opinion people or any part thereof, should not be sold, bartered, traded or used as collateral. The last is the most important as pledging yourself or anyone in your family for collateral is the fast track to debtor slavery. Why do you think there is a nearly unlimited supply of children for the child sex trade? Most of these girls are working off family debt without any choice in the matter.

Apparently Republicans like Limpjaw approve and take advantage of this opportunity for perversion. I wonder how many of his cronies also indulge.

Not the same.
The children are not offering themselves.
What one choses to do with their own body is a completely different thing.
