I remember hearing a quote to the effect of,

"buying and selling children should be allowed on the free market".

I thought it was Milton Friedman or some other economist. The usual search engines have returned nothing useful. Pretty sure I first seen it on a twitch stream, maybe Hasan or the Serfs, but I am not sure.

Thanks in advance.

    It’s Murray Rothbard:

    Now if a parent may own his child (within the framework of non-aggression and runaway freedom), then he may also transfer that ownership to someone else. He may give the child out for adoption, or he may sell the rights to the child in a voluntary contract. In short, we must face the fact that the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children.
