do parent's have the right to sell the advertising rights to their child?

i guess the child is a minor. but i still think this is going too far.

Truman Show wannabe!

I know selling your child on the net is illegal. But I don't think anyone has attempted this before, so I'd be guessing in saying theres no laws stoping it, mind you, it won't take long for new laws to be introduced to stop it.

Its definately going too far! That poor kid - look what it did to truman

yeah, whatever company who bids on it will suffer alot of backlash.

You've really got to question the intellgence and mental stability of someone who would even contemplate doing something like this, let alone someone who did it.
I'm glad e-bay showed some common sense by taking it off auction.

It was going to happen sooner or later. I am just suprised that they are not American.

 

[soha]

who the fuck would buy it?
you can adopt a child for less
and what are they making a buisness out of it?
she gets pregnant every year and sells it making 1 million a year

They had on a TEN News report that similar auctions were being made with babies from the USA. This is one case though where we can't say "only in America", heh. It's sad, but very true.

Imagine if You were that child, and you grew up with the name "Pepsi" or "Microsoft"

 

[soha]

lol..imagine that

 

[Cape]

I'd think that companies like microsoft and pepsi would have ethical obligations against doing things like that.

Just heard it on Tough Love on Triple M. What a joke? Imagine doing that to your own child? Rather sick, really.
