To the extent that this principle is disputed, even rejected, the road is opened wide to new forms of slavery. The infant is considered a "piece of property" to which someone has a right, even the right of life or death. The poor can be "cannibalized," that is considered as breeding ground for organ transplants; their "fresh" organs become marketed objects. In exchange for a certain price, the poor man is separated from an organ of his body: he alienates it, he is alienated from it, and in it, he is alienated.

Finally, one observes even livestock connotations with regard to the human population. Too many bodies harm the ecological equilibrium, and one must set quotas to their number to prevent them from becoming excessive and cause a deterioration in the surrounding milieu. We are told that economic laws must be respected and thus we must avoid that men become too numerous, thereby disturbing the good functioning of the market.

In brief, an entire dynamic is set in motion. Since these things that are bodies are not persons, they can be disposed of before as well as after birth. The management of human "livestock" must obey the same rules that apply to the management of other material goods.
