Topic 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 life. For money-rich but child-poor couples, it is small price to pay introduce a small life into their home. The cost is gilded, the blanket monogrammed, the college 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, 2013) - How do you view above statement

 Nowadays people will do anything for the sake of money.  Money is something that can change people’s life.  Some people said that they can do/buy anything with money. But there are the things that money can’t buy. So I would like to share my point of view about the baby-for-sale racket. I believe that mothers can’t bear to see their flesh and blood grow up without them. I do agree with the statement above BUT in a legal way.

What I mean is, it is not wrong to give your child to married couple who does not have baby. But they need to follow the rules. They must follow the procedure before they take the baby. It is because to ensure that baby in a safe place and with the right person.

I think that by doing this, the baby will have a better life in future. What if the parent does not have money to raise the baby? What will happen to the baby? So it is better to sell or in other word give the baby to people who can afford to take care of the baby so baby will  the opportunity to growing up well.

Another reason is, this can prevent from dumping baby. Some couple tends to be aggressive until they lost their humanity to kill the baby. Because of this unwanted child they kill the baby. They want to hide their fault of this unwanted baby. I believe that, if there  are people who willingly to take responsible to but the baby. The case of baby dumping because of unwanted child can be prevent, It can save the baby's life and also give the opportunity to the baby grow well.
