1. Is
commercial surrogacy a benevolent form of Human Trafficking,
and should it be permitted? Ukraine is
one of the countries in the world that has not outlawed commercial surrogacy,
and its clinics saw a surge in demand in 2015, after several countries in Asia
banned the practice. 2. Is
slavery a necessary evil that allows for survival in parts of the world where
unemployment is rampant and poverty is oppressive? Doesn’t it have a proven track record
dating back thousands of years? Should
we tamper with it? 3. Is
the major cause of modern-day slavery desperation on the part of victims who,
seeking alternatives, become entrapped? 4. Is
human trafficking essential to the stability of the underground economy of
many a poor nation? - case study:
Nigeria 5. Would
decriminalization of prostitution result in a decrease in the trafficking of
women and children for purposes of sexual exploitation. 6. Is
it true that women and children who work as prostitutes have voluntarily
chosen such a life for themselves? |
