Well... I can't think of anyone who would sell their freedoms for money. I mean, you don't do that by choice. It's something you do when you have no choice. You do that cause you're "forced to do so", and then that person who buys you takes advantage of your situation - which is illegal. People have fundemental human rights. Noone wants to sell these without being forced to do so? So when you're in such a situation the society have a responcibility to take care of you.

I didn't say prostitutes should have protection from pimps. I said if you legalized it, and let the prostitutes work under safe enviorments, there wouldn't be any pimps or any criminal league that demanded money from the prostitutes as protection money.
But yeah, I guess you would get something close to a pimp in a system I'd like to have - but it would be an employer, owning a business and having workers who give a service. The prostitutes sign work contracts and what-not all the contracts and deals are called in english between an employer and an employee. Like factory-workers have --- they didn't have any rights at the end of the 1800s, but they do now.
Why can't prostitutes have the same?
And with prostitues under controled enviorments, you could have a much bigger control of sexual transfered deseases, which would all in all be a very big plus imo. Both for "customers" and the prostitutes.

A very good point. Again I believe that people who takes the risk of selling organs aren't doing so by choice. They do it if they have no choice, and in this case as well; that's when the society have a responcibility to take care of these people.
