Here's a subtle clue: even under tightly controlled, planned social arrangements, for example, when you attempt to bring a criminal to justice, you might sometimes find incentives that create underground market economies. Spooky bribery at a distance, if you will.
Surrogate motherhood is rare and problematic, but in some cases there is enough incentive to simply carry a child for a reward, and then exit the parental role.
Sometimes, this might even happen with unplanned pregnancies. What's the tipping point that splits the difference between terminating a pregnancy, versus a charade marriage incentivized by court mandated custody and support arrangements that bring justice to an potentially unjust circumstance befalling an unfortunate couple?
- xupybd 8y agoI'm sorry I don't understand what you are saying here? Are you saying that the court system is forcing people into charade marriages? If so I'm not sure there is evidence of that. The number of divorces and single parenthood has skyrocketed in recent years. If anything I think there is something about modern society pushing people away from marriage. But as I say I'm not sure I follow what you're saying.
