Thought experiment for anyone who thinks $10 million would make this acceptable. Which I hope is no one here in this thread, but bear with me while I argue with no one.

What if we asked this question again for $5 million? $1 million? $100,000? $10,000? $100? $1?

How would you ever begin to draw a line? Should the law say that there is a particular price tag at which this suddenly becomes legal?

Also, suppose, not so hypothetically, that we live in a world where poverty is itself a coercive factor. If the girl and her parents can't afford to say no, is this really consent?

I once came around the hypothetical of like, for how much would you sell your foot. People talked about millions. I modified the question to selling a toe because I couldn't find anyone willing to even name a price for their foot. My friends were still like 5 mil, 10 mil, 100 mil when it was about a middle toe. Except my coworker, not having heard anyone answer the question, he was like "oof, hard question, I guess 50€".

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.
