Black Market & Baby?

3.  “If  money were the only criterion by which a child’s welfare can be gauged, then a baby bought for as much as RM40,000 on the black market would seem set for a life/ For money rich but child-poor couples, it is a small price to pay to introduce a small life into their home. The cot is gilded, the blanket monogrammed, the college fund fund filled to the brim. All that’s wanting is a bun in the oven. And where there is a baby-for-sale racket, money can indeed, buy happiness. And after all, why not?” (NST, March 3, 2013)

• Provide at least two (2) premises or two (2) counter agreements for the statements based on your agreement. 

I strongly agree  with the above statement. As black market little does help with a married couples who did not have baby. First of all, i would like to explain what is black market adoption. Black market adoption means an adoption which involves the purchasing of a child with a large payments and by passing adoptions laws and regulations of the adoption process. This illegal action is surely prohibited as this has break the government laws . But, it is a easiest and happiest way for couples who did not have babies. I agree with the statement because it does help and give a lot benefits to the babies. 

First and foremost, it give the babies a brighter future. It is because if they did not sell the baby, the baby might be thrown or dead somewhere else. As the statistic of baby dumping is increasing every year, every month and also every minute. Hence, if the baby were sold to the right couple the baby can get a better life and brighter future rather than they are exposed to bad exposures. Yes, this action is a little bit appropriate but put yourself in the place of a couple who already get married and do not have a baby, of course they are willing to give any amount of money to get the baby as long as they are happy and can make their live more happy.   As in this modern era, there are too many cases about dumped baby who were thrown then somebody take them to be their bait to make money such as as soon the baby grow a little a bit they will ask them to be a beggar. 

On the other hand, money can fulfill people's needs. As this because, nowadays many married couple who did not have a baby will tend to argue and fight on each other by accusing one of them is the main problem why they did not get a baby. Isn't that hurt to heard from someone that you love? So money does help them. Rather they keep arguing, so by bought a baby from a black market does help. As buying a baby, it might be their source of happiness even though this action is illegal. Thus, money indeed can buy happiness  if you are sincere in it and have a positive and pure intention. 

For instance, as this case happens to my own relative, where my cousin came from a black market adoption also, where my aunt already got married for 10 years but still did not get any baby so they decide to have an adoption baby and bought it from the black market, from the story i have knew, if my aunt did not bought the baby, the dealer will sell it to the a criminal who is a going to sell the baby to Thailand and make the baby as a beggar. Now, my cousin are already grown up and successfully a doctor now. Thus, black market adoption does help the baby and also make a family become more cheerful.

In conclusion, even though  black market adoption is bad referring to the law but yet it make some people happy.
