Body Rental - Part Three

I didn't plan to write about this again, but read an article about Organ markets...

so final thoughts...

I sort of see a list of physical services that undereducated poor people's bodies provide:

Ranked in Order of the social "good" they provide the developed world:
Transplants
Surrogacy
Prostitution.

Ranked in order of harm done to the developing world:
Transplants
Surrogacy
Prostitution.

Questioning potential trajectories for the development of each industry, I see

Transplants: Hopefully, if post-mortem organ donation normalizes across the developed world, the industry of harvesting organs from live donors will disappear.
Prostitution: Dubious. There are simultaneously increases in sex tourism AND in demand for more authentic, more emotionally fulfilling sex work. And there are a bunch of women who aren't sex workers. Don't see this skyrocketing. Or in other words, I don't see sexual services being completely outsourced to the poor/third world countries.
Surrogacy: I can totally see a society where all middle and upper-class women, with a few exceptions, outsource carrying babies to the third world/poor. I mean, that's sort of the last step gender equality needs to take, right? Freeze some eggs, work, have a great career, at 40, ship your eggs and your husbands sperm to a clinic in india to be carried by a woman there. I'd do it if the idea wasn't so horrific.
