Question by Life: Could you find 3 rhetorical questions in this essay? please?
As economies around the world continue to shrink, how many people will start thinking about selling their bodies?

Two years ago, the global market in human flesh looked like a humanitarian issue. It was a problem for those poor people in developing countries , not for us. But global capitalism doesn’t care what color your skin is, as long as you’ve got some to sell and you need the cash. And, increasingly, people need the cash.

Harmless, right? So let’s move around to the back of the head. Thirty people have hired themselves out to Air New Zealand as “cranial billboards,” the Times reports. “For shaving their noggins and displaying the ad copy for two weeks in November, they received either a round-trip ticket to New Zealand (worth about $ 1,200) or $ 777 in cash.”

A bit tacky, but who are we to judge? They need the money. And if people are willing to wear temporary tattoos for pay, why not permanent ones?

Since 2005, Dunlop Tires has hired tattoo artists to work at its booth at the annual Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Las Vegas, geared to motorists who modify cars. Volunteers who agree to be permanently tattooed—either with Dunlop’s logo or its trademarked tire tread—while onlookers gawk receive a set of tires worth $ 500 to $ 1,000, said Jim Davis, a Dunlop spokesman. About 200 people have been tattooed so far.

If it’s OK to sell permanent advertising on your skin, it’s hard to see why we outlaw temporary prostitution, especially in view of current financial pressures :

Signs of the economic free fall have cropped up in many of Nevada’s 25 or so legal brothels. The Mustang Ranch, for example, has a steady stream of customers, but the number of women vying for work has soared.

Should women who resort to this line of work in other states continue to be arrested? Do you have some other employment opportunity to offer them?

And if extra cash to women who need it is a good thing, what about the increasing use of undeveloped countries as testings grounds for drugs not yet approved in the west.

So, the standards overseas are lower, and the people recruited to test the drugs have fewer choices. But isn’t that how capitalism works? Aren’t these people getting value in exchange for supplying their bodies at lower cost? As Ezekiel Emanuel, chairman of bioethics at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, puts it : “More places outside the United States are participating in research—is that a bad thing?”

And what about the sale of human eggs, sperm, and surrogacy? Driven by the recession, women are lining up to sell their eggs and rent out their wombs . It’s fully legal. Do you want to stop them or their clients? Do you think you can?

If it’s OK to sell your eggs and skin—and to rent out your body for pregnancy or drug testing—why not let people sell expendable organs ? Thanks to the progress and spread of transplant technology, every healthy person with two good kidneys or a splittable liver now has a fungible asset. Earlier this month, for instance, the Asahi Shimbun reported :

Amid the serious shortage of available organs in Japan, a nonprofit organization admitted to helping 17 Japanese receive transplants in China even after Beijing banned such operations for foreigners in 2007. A deputy chief of the NPO [said] the group paid doctors in China, in addition to treatment costs, for the kidney and liver transplants there. … Cases have already emerged of Japanese traveling to Southeast Asia for new organs.

I’m not saying all of these practices are acceptable or unacceptable. Some are more worrisome than others. But they’re all happening, and they’re all being driven by money. And as the recession takes away the external assets of more and more people, we’re going to face increasingly difficult questions about letting them sell what’s left.

Stress Dynamics Helps Parents Find Kids Fast Using Tattoos With A Purpose

Newnan, GA (PRWEB) September 15, 2006

Stress Management firm Stress Dynamics, LLC is working to help parents find kids fast by offering Tattoos With A Purpose(tm) in their online marketplace at http://www.StressDynamics.com. These temporary tattoo kits allow parents to mark a phone number on their children in a way that kids think is cool! With the tattoo in place, police and security officials can readily locate the parents of lost children.

“When we learned of this product we knew it would be perfect for our stress reduction marketplace,” said Stress Dynamics President and Founder Mercedes A. Martishius, BSN, MBA. “They are temporary tattoos which you adhere to your child’s skin and then write your phone number on them. They can last five to seven days and are waterproof yet can be easily removed when you want them off. The kids love them because getting a temporary tattoo is like getting a treat. Parents love them because they can be reached quickly when their lost children are found. I wish they had been around when my children were younger.”

The Tattoos With A Purpose(tm) kits come with six temporary tattoos, six alcohol wipes (for removal) and a marker pen. Stress Dynamics offers kits for boys, girls and children with autism.

“It’s a reality that no matter how diligent you are as a parent there are times when children wander away,” Martishius said. “All it takes is a second of distraction. Most children know to seek out an authority figure when lost but they may not yet be able to remember a phone number. If they are wearing Tattoos With A Purpose(tm) then these people know who to call and they call right away.”

To learn more about this product go to http://www.StressDynamics.com.

Stress Dynamics, LLC works to promote stress reduction through interactive, individualized stress management seminars. Their client list includes hospitals and health organizations as well as many Fortune 500 companies. They offer hundreds of unique stress reduction and relaxation products in their online marketplace.
