Default SELL your Children

ok, i'm saying this in seriousness, and before you flame it, look at a couple of the points I'm going to list, and give me viable coutnerexamples... I'll even post some of the counterexamples and refute them right here

Being given monetary compensation for giving up your child is beneficial to society for several reasons...
Reason 1: The majority of abortions and kids given up for adoption is due to the prohibitive cost of raising and having a child, Not the age of the mother.. with this in light, we are offering at least a monetary compensation to people that need the money, and also help get the kid to a better home where they can be taken care of.

Reason 2: We as a society do NOT want a person that would sell their kid to raise one! If you care so little for your child that you would rather sell him/her then keep him/her, you aren't the parent we want raising a child anyways in our society. So we are doing the child a favor by bringing it into a family that will love it versus one that couldn't care less.

Counter-examples : where do we get the money from? 2 Solutions, one, the government, its a form of a tax break for the poorest. Two, adoption agencies pay... because right now, they get kids for free, and then sell them for thousands of dollars... Their overhead could very easily support having to pay a stipend for the child.

next counter example: People will turn it into a business. There is no chance of that if you think in terms of economics. The amount of time, manpower, and work involved in bringing a baby to life woudl far outweigh any amount of money that would be given, so Its fairly baseless

I have more, but I'll keep it at this for now...
Let the uninformed start flaming
