A hospital is persuading women who want to terminate their pregnancies to have the babies so it can sell them for $1,400 each to childless couples.

The shocking “baby farm” has been exposed at the 30-bed Palash Hospital in the Gwailor district of India. Two of the sold babies have since been rescued by police.

Prateek Kumar, from the ASP crime branch, told Times of India: “Three others have been sold to childless couples in Uttar Pradesh and Chattisgarh.”

Hospital manager Arun Bhadoria was arrested and claimed that agents in the Chambal region fetched girls with unwanted pregnancies. An investigation was launched when he could not give the whereabouts of two babies born in the hospital.

In total, five people have been charged with slavery crimes.

Supply and demand, innit? I don't see why this is much different from adoption, besides maybe the paying part.

it's also the "under-the-table" nature of it which can lead to slavery/etc. - normally if a couple adopts, then there are certain checks that they are indeed taking care of said baby - I can't imagine the hospital doing any such things, as they have received their $$ and probably want nothing more to do with the child - think about it this way - why would anyone buy an infant if they could adopt instead?

Adoption is taxed. And actually pretty fucking expensive. I'd imagine the average couple looking to adopt spends significantly more than $1400.

And I think that, this system (which does not appear to necessarily be selling children for slaves), though obviously flawed and not exactly safe, is perhaps better than excessive restrictions while millions of children are hoping for a permanent home in some circumstances.

Well if the white market didn't make it ridiculously hard to get stuff, then the black market might get back in hand.
