A few years back, I
pointed out that it's odd that Richard Posner is often criticized for writing a "baby-selling" article a few decades ago, even though baby-selling is already legal in many different ways (adoption agencies, adoption lawyers, surrogate services, sperm donation, etc.). Now a law professor (Kimberly Krawiec of the University of North Carolina) has
an article developing that point more fully.
It's very similar to the case of paying for transplanted organs. Doctors, hospitals, and others make a considerable amount of money off of transplants, but that sees much less concern for some reason.
