I saw a documentary that showed that Chinese kids are kidnapped and sold to childless Chinese people, or sometimes a Chinese family buys a girl for their boy to eventually marry.

Some parents sell their own kids too.

Let me tell you, the thought has crossed my mind once or twice.

I'm going to make a point about this aside from the obvious stupidity of taking and selling a child. The people know the rules yet still have kids when they can't afford the fines that will come with them.

I wonder what would happen to our welfare system if the U.S. had a policy such as this?

Our system is so broken it's ridiculous.

Shit we'd save a ton of money. To bad it can't be retroactivly enforced.

Sickening.

Although, in a twisted way, if I could start a company with 100 other women....it might prove to be an interesting proposition. I'd need capital to get through 9 months, but the end result would be profit!!! 100 women possibly can't go through 300,000 during 9 months of pregnancy, right?
