[quote=Anonymous]-prostitution
 Should be illegal but I don’t support harsh punishments for the prostitutes. Often they don’t have other options. They need, like, prostitute rehab. And this is often multi-faceted - they need child care, lessons on money and budgeting, counseling to escape abusive men, probably additional benefits like a stable place to live. Drug and alcohol rehab too. A lot of prostitutes are trafficked and forced to live in hotels and stuff. People aren’t doing this just because they really love having s*x with random guys. Punish the people buying sex and the pimps to the full extent of the law though.

-Selling sperm
Illegal, donating is ok though

-selling blood/plasma
Same as above but ok to donate

-Surrogacy (ie carrying someone else’s genetic child for money)
I’m ok with it if everything is tightly regulated. The one thing I’m not sure of is what if the parents change their minds while the surrogate is still pregnant. Can you force them to accept the baby and what happens then?

-paid adoption (Ie surrendering rights to one’s own genetic offspring in exchange for money)
I kind of thought this was already happening? Not exactly, but the adoptive parents usually give the birth mom money for living expenses and medical expenses. I don’t see a big problem as long as it’s regulated and the adoptive parents realize the birth mom can back out at any time.

-selling a kidney, portion of the liver , etc
No, should be donation only to level the playing field.

-selling a vital organ (ie sacrificing one’s life) with the money going to one’s designated heirs
No, this reminds me too much of prostitution somehow. [/quote]
