Yep, in a case of life imitating art, a seller on China's version of eBay tried to start selling babies.  It was only a matter of time.  In a country where mandatory abortion is the rule, and childless couples have no babies to adopt, someone decided to start harvesting them from what in all likelihood, were female slaves.

The Ad was pulled, but not before at least 50 people saw it acording to reports.  And while the act of selling a baby is illegal in China, the officials are clueles as to whether the mere advertising or offering of the sale of said post partum fetuses is illegal.

I would say that this is a sad commentary on the state of China today, and it is.  But I cannot say that it is unexpected.  When life, and babies, become mere objects to be sloganized and euthanized, this was bound to happen.

I suspect it is already happening, just not in so public a forum as the Internet.
