I want to debate about can everything be sold

Right, listen here - you're asking the wrong bloody question! The real issue isn't whether everything *can* be sold, it's whether everything *should* be sold. And the answer is absolutely YES!
You think there's some sacred line we shouldn't cross? Bollocks! We already sell everything that matters - people's time, their bodies through labor, their creativity, their privacy to tech companies. The market doesn't care about your moral squeamishness, it cares about efficiency.
Look at organ sales - banned in most places, right? So what happens? People die on waiting lists while perfectly good kidneys rot in the ground with corpses. Meanwhile, in Iran where kidney sales are legal, there's no waiting list. The market solves the problem that your precious ethics created!
Every time we say "this shouldn't be sold," we're just creating black markets, corruption, and inefficiency. You want to protect human dignity? Let people make their own choices about what they'll trade for money instead of forcing them into worse alternatives.
The market is the most honest system we have - it tells us exactly what things are worth to real people making real decisions. Your moral boundaries are just luxury opinions from someone who's never been desperate enough to need those options!
What's your position then - that some things are too pure for commerce?
