Would you extend this to something like selling your organs? I could give someone a kidney donation, but it seems kind of twisted to sell your own kidney for $$$.
Or, would you extend it to something like selling your vote in a democratic system? I can vote for whoever I want, but I can't think of a worse race to the bottom than allowing people to put their votes on the market.
I think the problem with this philosophy is it puts everything, even our own beings, in the hands of capitalism.
