I think the thing I find most disturbing about your response here is the way you are nonplussed because of the fair "transactional" nature of it. That's some dystopian stuff for me, but I'm not a libertarian.

As I said, I anticipate that opinions will vary on that point. I am VERY libertarian, and I DO see it as simply "transactional."

If a man wants to hire-out his healthy body to do dangerous work in a coal mine in exchange for better pay than he would receive working the counter at McDonalds, good for him. If a woman wants to hire-out HER body (whether for surrogacy or for paid sex work, for instance) in exchange for good American money, good for her too. As long as she was an adult when she agreed to it, I don't want to hear about her "regrets" after the fact, either.

BTW, I see that someone downvoted you while I was typing. I assure that it was not me. I appreciate reasonable posts, even when I might disagree with their substance.
