Yes, I'm seriously advocating slavery.
As Phil Osborn said in his reply to Michaels reply to me, "if [a child] were
to form a personal trust and sell shares in himself, then he would have a
vested interest in maintaining the value of the shares, as these would be
his ticket to acquire further investment for going to college, starting a
business, etc." I take this further and call it "slavery" simply because
when the child most needs investment it is not at an age to consent. Now
it's true that under such a scheme I could buy a child and have him work my
sugar plantation for zero wage but it is also true that I could train the
child to be a lawyer and make huge profits with minimum investment.
