Don't really know what "perchasing" means. However, if you mean "purchasing," it is illegal in this country due to the Emancipation Proclamation of the mid 19th century!

I did come across this in Wikipedia:... According to the Anti-Slavery Society, "Although there is no longer any state which recognizes, or which will enforce, a claim by a person to a right of property over another, the abolition of slavery does not mean that it ceased to exist. There are millions of people throughout the world — mainly children — in conditions of slavery, as well as in various forms of servitude which are in many respects similar to slavery."[3] It further notes that slavery, particularly child slavery, was on the rise in 2003. It points out that there are countless others in other forms of servitude (such as pawnage, bonded labor and servile concubinage) which are not slavery in the narrow legal sense.

In Sudan UN-peace workers have acknowledged the existence of slavery in the country. Although officially banned, it is still practiced widely, and there is even trading going on at the country by means of slave markets.

In the United States, offenses against the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution were being prosecuted as late as 1947[10]
The economics of contemporary slavery
According to a broader definition used by Kevin Bales of Free the Slaves, another advocacy group linked with Anti-Slavery International, there are 27 million people (though some put the number as high as 200 million) in slavery today, spread all over the world (Kevin Bales, Disposable People). This is, also according to that group:

The largest number of people that has ever been in slavery at any point in world history.
The smallest percentage of the total human population that has ever been enslaved at once.
Reducing the price of slaves to as low as US$40 in Mali for young adult male laborers, to a high of US$1000 or so in Thailand for HIV-free young females suitable for use in brothels (where they frequently contract HIV). This represents the price paid to the person, or parents.
This represents the lowest price that there has ever been for a slave in raw labor terms—while the price of a comparable male slave in 1850 America would have been about US$1000 in the currency of the time, that represents US$38,000 in today's dollars, thus slaves, at least of that category, now cost only one one-thousandth (0.1%) of their price 150 years ago.
As a result, the economics of slavery is stark: the yield of profit per year for those buying and controlling a slave is over 800% on average, as opposed to the 5% per year that would have been the expected payback for buying a slave in colonial times. This combines with the high potential to lose a slave (have them stolen, escape, or freed by unfriendly authorities) to yield what are called disposable people—those who can be exploited intensely for a short time and then discarded, such as the prostitutes thrown out on city streets to die once they contract HIV, or those forced to work in mines.


Human trafficking
Main article: Trafficking in human beings
Trafficking in human beings, sometimes called human trafficking, or sex trafficking (as the majority of victims are women or children forced into prostitution) is not the same as people smuggling. A smuggler will facilitate illegal entry into a country for a fee, but on arrival at their destination, the smuggled person is free; the trafficking victim is enslaved. Victims do not agree to be trafficked: they are tricked, lured by false promises, or forced into it. Traffickers use coercive tactics including deception, fraud, intimidation, isolation, threat and use of physical force, debt bondage or even force-feeding with drugs of abuse to control their victims. Whilst the majority of victims are women, and sometimes children, forced into prostitution, other victims include men, women and children forced into manual labor.

Due to the illegal nature of trafficking, the exact extent is unknown. A US Government report published in 2003, estimates that 800,000-900,000 people worldwide are trafficked across borders each year. This figure does not include those who are trafficked internally

should you believe in the soul, the question of its region has a perennial pastime. the historic Egyptians theory that it became got here upon in the middle, and tomb photos from round 2000BCE (previously the common era) prepare the god Anubis weighing the soul-encumbered coronary heart adversarial to the Feather of reality. In 1515 Leonardo da Vinci became denounced as a sorcerer for searching for the soul through dissecting the mind, following the conception of the time that it existed in the centre of the pinnacle. some believers declare that the soul is an insubstantial entity (derisively labelled through Cambridge logician Gilbert Ryle as 'the ghost in the gadget'), yet this begs the classic philosophical question how an insubstantial entity can ever impression a fabrics body. American physician Duncan MacDougall concluded from this that the soul, if it exists, must have weight, and in 1907 suggested experiments the position he measured the replace in weight of lack of life tuberculosis sufferers. His answer, encapsulated in a later movie identify, became that the soul weighed 21g. Make of that what you'll. once you've a reproduction of a bible ( which I desperately desire that you do), turn to Genesis 2:7. 18. you'll discover each and each one residing creatures are reffered to as, no longer having souls yet are souls themselves. Then bypass to Ezekiel 18:4- States that the soul it quite is sinning it itself will die, would not say the guy will die and the soul will save residing in limbo someplace yet we are the souls.
